CAN I USE PELLETS FOR PELLET STOVEEE
AND HI MISSED UUUUU NEED TO POST MOREEEE
love your channel!!
Are you using wood ash on the onions you're doing the 5 part series on you started in March? I'm looking forward to part 3, 4 and 5! When will you be updating us?!
Jeff! I can’t get over your new hair status!! I once heard someone say they put ash under their tomato plants when the transplant them and it makes their yield incredible. What are your thoughts on this?
Okay, I have to ask… is MARIJUANA ash the same thing? Like, after I smoke a bowl can I save the ash? Lmao
Years ago I was in a lab fire, almost made an ash of myself…………Great video, I love it.
Thanks. Is charcoal ash, from the Weber, the same? I suspect not.
very value able watch, thanks
Great video. I usually dump the remnants from my fire pit into my compost bins (I have 11 of them!!!!)
Thank you so very much
Now that my city fines fires in gardens at 150 EUR, I pretend doing a barbecue. I noticed that a mixture of ashes and charcoal has also benefits : deters caterpillars and slugs for a while and the black color of charcoal warms the soil in spring and filters water.
I read somewhere that ash is helpful to use around the border to guard against slugs. Is this true?
Don't forget the benefits of the biochar that's mixed in with the ash.
great tips Jeff! I usually add my to ash compost, like you showed.
Another great place to use it: in a chicken run. They'll use it for their dust baths to help them control mites. I just sprinkle some in spots that they already tend to take bust baths. it works basically the same way as diatomaceous earth (desiccates the pests)
Great video we have a wood burning stove, therefore have a good supply of wood ash which I usually add to my compost bin. Now I have more ways to use it thanks☘️☘️☘️☘️
Love your show bro
That soil mix that you make has lime in it so you saying I can't use it to start my corn?
I am a Soap maker and technically use potash to make liquid soap! Of course, I use flakes that are manufactured so the results are consistent, but it is the same thing!
I put ash in my raised beds and my tomato plants produced so many blossoms . So many tomato's, amazing
Too bad ash is alkaline, if it was acidic i could use it whenever i want.
Thank you sir!, what about rabbit/chicken crap for fertilizer?
Thank you so much, please keep helping us all get back to God and the right ways. God bless you and yours
Thanks.. My daughter has a wood stove woohoo!
TIPS! Ash keeps the slugs/snails away.
I love cleaning with ash. Mix a bit of ash with dish soap and water. Let it sit a few minutes and it is great to clean the inside of the oven and other baked on messes AND it used less harsh chemicals:) I’m glad I have another use of it, I only have so much to clean
My wife’s Korean friend that live in Minnesota, said uses ash for her Korean radish and told me to use it next year. Because our Korean radish grows a lot of leaves, but not radish, sometimes they grow woody
