How long should you leave soot before spreading on the garden.
Good question! all the books say "untill weathered" well I feel well
weathered after about 30 mins!! I would say a winter would do the job but
maybe someone actually knows.
It's hardly scientific but my grandfather used to chuck it onto the garden
straight from the chimney - coal fire, IIRC.

There's a body of opinion that holds that soot doesn't do anything for the
garden, and that chimney sweeps started, and perpetuate the myth to save
themselves the disposal problem.
