is there a good use for pine ashes? fertilizer?

I dunno....

good for plant food

okay...I didn't want to kill any plants

I'll put the ashes from the fire pit under the oranges trees

thank you

You should put a couple dead fish under the trees.. I've found that if I throw my dead minnos after fishing under my jalepeno plants they do very well..

I guess I better learn how to fish then!

okay okay

it's on the Mommy list of this to do with my children

and then we will bury them under the orange trees (I know they are good fertilizer)

and my children will give me strange looks

priceless...

Fish meal is good fertilizer. I'd start with getting a soil sample test done first. You can get them from one of your local county offices. I'd google for info specific to your type of orange tree.

I really just wanted to find a useful purpose for the ashes

any other uses?

The onlt beneficial thing the ashes will do is raise the ph of the soil,if needed...

wheel,

Will supply potash also.

okay- I looked up potash

looks like it helps improve water retention

that's gotta be good around here for oranges

the oranges win the ashes...hands down!

OH DEAR GOD!! PLEASE DO NOT BURY YOUR CHILDREN UNDER THE ORANGE TREES!!

Hehee!

mix the ashes with some mineral oil, vaseline, etc.

It makes a reasonable black stage makeup or anti-glare stripe for under the eyes.

If you decide to smear the stuff all over your face; make sure none of your friends see you.

They might think you are crazy.

Potash is very important for fruiting and flowering.

ooooh I just read that ashes repel snails and slugs

I don't have those

^well, if you WANT them, throw the ashes in your neighbor's yard.

Lizardo! I meant we would bury the fish

;p

andy- might be fun to do that with the kids and stripe up our faces and growl around the yard lol

thanks, banderl!
