We were enjoying the fire pit out by my pond, and now I am wondering what
to do
with the ash in the bottom of the pit. Can I toss it in the flower
garden?
Should I put it into the compost area? Will it make a suitable mulch or
will
it kill the flowers.......hmmmmm....sure was a nice fire...It was hardwood
that
burned. Thanks!

Don't use it for mulch. If your soil is acid, it will bring the ph up and
add nutrients. Work into the soil or lightly top dress your garden/lawn and
water it in.
