I'm starting to BBQ quite regularly now the weather is improving.

As a novice gardening I was wondering if the leftovers (the ash, coal,
etc. Not the food!) could be put to any use in/on the garden.

And thoughts?

Don't the french play boules on an ash pathway? You'ld need a lot of BBQs
though.

I've found that nothing much grows in my "bonfire area" which may be a case
of "too much of a good thing".

The actual bonfires wouldn't have any part to play in this lack of
foliage? :-)

Sprinkle it on the compost heap, great source of potash. Of course you may
be able to use it in a water butt along with some sheeps' droppings, comfrey
and nettles and an old banana, should be quite an interesting an dpungent
mixture I'd guess. Mind you it would also contain a great source of almost
everything commercial fertalisers use.
