These are the minerals that the trees' needed for growth and needs to be replaced in the soil. The burning lost nothing of value to future plants. Use the ash as a valuable fertiliser. Keep it dry to make spreading easy, or sprinkle on the compost. Best Wishes Brian. |

I burn tree wood out in my old BBQ and spread the ash around and till it
into the desert dirt and it's not hurt anything. -- The Lone Sidewalk Astronomer of Rosamond Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord Astronomy Net Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/astronomy_net In Garden Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/ingarden Blast Off Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/starlords "peta" wrote in message k.net...

Ashes are excellent for repelling snails and slugs. Use your ashe to create
a protective circle around your plants. The snails won;t cross it. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "These are the times that try men's souls." Tom Paine Marc "George.com" wrote in message ...
