Can anyone give some information on the benefits or otherwise of spreading
soot on the veg. patch.

Other questions spring to mind, do you leave it in a pile for some time and
what sort of measurement per square yard

TIA ......................Leslie


We put our wood ash from the woodburner into the compost heap. We put
the soot from the cleaning of the chimneys also into the compost heaps
but not all at once, it is kept in a metal contained until it is added
bit by bit.
