Trish Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I generally add my wood ash to my compst heap. Wood ash is great in the droppings tray too and mixes with soil to make a nice dust bath. I've never enough left to put straight onto the garden, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisy's mum Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thank you Christian Do I just sprinkle it round the trunk or fork it in? Julie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I've sprinkled it around the fruit bushes and on the onions bed. I raked it in for the onions, before planting but have left it around the fruit bushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Same here Lesley. We have so much ash, even though the hens love it in their dust bath. We often see clouds of white 'smoke' through the willow fencing as one of them is shaking their fluffy knickers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
