 Ashes? Any uses to recycle? Was just wondering what everyone does with there ashes? Wondering if you could put them in your garden or any other uses other than just in the garage (which i don't have a problem doing)

| Re: Ashes? Any uses to recycle? Ash is sterile and strong PH, they do not like it.

| Re: Ashes? Any uses to recycle? 1) Make lye and/or soap. Not actually worth the effort unless you just want to know how. 2) Deodorize trash cans. 3) Keep flies off dog poop - or anything else. 4) Possibly drive away fire ants. I've only tried once but it did seem to have an effect. I'll let you know how it works out. 5) Garden/soil/lawn - yeah, it can help but only in small quantities. Unless you want a swept yard, don't plan on getting rid of much ash this way. 6) Deodorize little boxes - labor intensive since you need to create clumps beforehand. 7) There are others but I can't think of them right now.

| Re: Ashes? Any uses to recycle? Here in the hill country I was told to never put ash in my garden soil (because it is already basic). It can be very beneficial for some soils and some plants but typically not in large quantities. Alas, we can make WAY too much ash for reasonable use. Jay |
