compost heap question
"Martin Brown" wrote in message ... In message , Shannie writes During the winter I burn only peat briquettes. I don't burn coal or anything else on the fire. The result of which is two buckets of very dusty peat ash per week. Is it alright to add this to the compost heap or would it upset the balance too much? Is there any other way I could use it? Also, now the weather has cooled right off is it still essential to 'activate' the heap as often as during the summer? You do realise that burning peat for heat and power is actually far worse for the environment than using it as compost for gardening? Peat ash can concentrate elements that you don't really want to add to your garden. Change to renewable wood burning instead and you would have a nice alkaline potash fertiliser. Which is in every respect identical to the potash with which the heathens like me feed their plants. Franz |
