Thanks for all the answers y problem of soot disposal!
If there is the slightest chance that it will keep slugs and snails away
I will use it!!


I didn't see your original post but according to my late grandparents you
can dig it into your soil to improve it and mixed with salt you can clean
your teeth with it.


You can clean your teeth with just salt, but who wants to nowadays?


Well, not many of us now as we have toothpaste. *I just thought some might
find it interesting.


I found it interesting.

Just part of a long history of ways to get rid of soot without throwing it away.
