Great video.
Hi Patera. Thanks for the info thank God spring is in the air. God Bless
we use it for the driveway and the Walk way on the ice it is good for tread
peaches is being your Foreman making sure his mom and does everything right
I'm so glad I stumbled across this! I have a fireplace for the first time ever and I need to clean out my ashes!!!
if you don't have a wood burning stove or fireplace check a BBQ restaurant see if you can get a bucket or 2 or 3 of ashes from them
The Indians washed their hair with wood ashes, as when it is mixed with water a very mild lye solution results, and when that lye solution finds the oils in your hair and on your body, voila, soap is formed. Thanks for another informative video! We are focusing on the lye-making (and then soap-making) use of our wood ashes, ashes from our maple syrup evaporator and outdoor wood boiler. I have put up a few videos on the subject; it is a lot of work, and uses a lot of ashes, and the results are worth the effort! Outdoor wood boilers are common in our neck of the woods, southwest Michigan, so wood ash is relatively easy to come by if I need more than we generate.

Just adore mr peaches
I just started watching your videos and like them very much, my mom said the chickens dusting in wood ash kept lice off the birds, I used when we had chickens also and it really worked.
love going along with you while you do chores. great video topic, thank you
Hi Patara (i think that's your name??? Hope so…) just wanted to tell you that I love your attitude and that southern accent. LOL. I'm a northerner and we raise German Shepherds so I'm not off grid or even a homesteader but I really enjoy watching shows from all you guys. So many useful ways to use up wood ashes! I never knew this stuff. My grand parents were farmers and carpenters. I got a LOT of carpenter in me but not a whole lot of farmer, so I'm working on that one as we speak. Just wanted to pop in here and tell you that I really enjoy your show.
great in ice storms keep you from busting your fanny
My chinchilla would love that ash to roll around in .
I love your wood stove. My husband and I have been researching these to fit inside our existing fireplace. I use all our ashes from my firepit, too. This video is great for sharing how awesome this stuff is instead of throwing it out.
I sift it so it will go through a drop spreader then spread it on areas that have moss that I want grass to grow. The dead moss and ash make excellent fertilizer for grass.
Looks like that cat doesn't miss too many meals! LOL!!
Wood ash is the best for cleaning. Sieve well and mix the fine ash with water into a paste. Use to clean stoves, saucepans, kettles, copper etc.
Grew up with a wood stove I really miss it. It was my choir to clean out the wood ash and rekindle the fire in the morning great video
My blueberries love wood ash
Great video! Love your boots at the end of the video. I believe I have the same ones. My family calls them my chicken boots. They are the only chickens I have. =)
Our woodstove now has bricks building up next to it. I wish I had started this years ago. Wood heat is the only way to go.
At what age do your roosters generally begin to crow? I have two that were hatched around March 1 and I’m just looking for a clue about when to expect that.
Greetings
When we butcher livestock game and fish we put the bones in the woodstove after it is burned bones and ashes go in the garden
Burn an outside wood pile if dont have wood stove.
thank Patara, earlyer asked a question about the woodash………..happy that you made already a very nice video about the use of woodash….thanks..from France
