Hello all,

After recent and past bonfires, I have collected the ash & charcoal for use
on the garden.

However, as there is no label on the side, I am unsure of how best to apply
it - is it best done in spring, or should it be put on all the way through
season?

Does anyone have any ideas?

I am talking about relatively small quantities, I have a carrier bag full, &
I guess application rate would be a scattering of a few handfuls per m^2

Fruit trees will thank you for a good application - at any time, though
summer or early spring would seem good times - they should reward you with
better crops. Regular applications can sometimes help to counter the bad
crop year, when fruit trees under stress go into good year/bad year
cycles.
