During the winter I burn only peat briquettes. I don't burn coal or
anything
else on the fire. The result of which is two buckets of very dusty peat
ash
per week. Is it alright to add this to the compost heap or would it upset
the balance too much? Is there any other way I could use it? Also, now
the
weather has cooled right off is it still essential to 'activate' the heap
as
often as during the summer?


Thanks guys

Let you chickens use it as a dust bath. I know wood ash is meant to be good
with the added bonus that it helps control the lice etc
