bigwheel said:Well first thang is a person need to figger out if their soil is acid or alkaline. If its acidic..which can purty well be determined if it will grow some species of Evergreen Tree..it would be safe to scatter it over the yard. Only way it will hurt the grass is if a person pile it up and it smothers the grass..shuts off the light etc. Now you could also make soap out of it if you an industrious type feller or if you are the boss at your house you can make your wife do it. If I was to point out a big pile of ashes to the warden and tell her to make soap she would say something like this, "Yes Dear..do you want me to make Ivory or Lava soap?" As you can see I run thangs at my house.

Woodman said:Those of you who use it on your plants may want to check the soil Ph as a result! Ashes are VERY HIGH in acid. They work well on evergreens, rhododenron, azaleas, etc. I'm guessing that they are not so good for veggie plants. Time to add lyme!
