wood ash for gardening
we heat with a high efficiency catalytic woodstove and subsequently get wood
ash as a result. it can be used on gardens and lawns as fertilizer, but you must read up on it first. basically it can be used like lime, to reduce acidity, and add some nutrients to the soil like fertilizer. you should ph test first so you know if you even need it. i will have more than i need this year and will gladly give some to someone else who would like to use it. we only use seasoned hardwoods in our stove, which gives the best available nutrient profile (and it is considered an organic ammendment), so i'd rather not just take it to the dump when someone else might benefit from it. read these links beforehand, so you'll know if it's something you could use: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/ext/woodash.html http://www.klis.com/fundy/ecg/woodash4-3.htm http://ceinfo.unh.edu/counties/hillsborough/woodash.htm email me if you'd like to get it. i will store it in a galvanized garbage can until spring (clean, new from home depot) and when you come to pick it up, just bring me a new can to replace it. gena |
