whoops guess im wrong on that one , thought it was the other way around , the soil in my "under the trees" flower plots usually has a higher Ph unless im testing it wrong. no biggie , my mistake i guess.LLigetfa said:Ashes will deacidify the soil.stoveguy2esw said:dumping it in the woods or around trees (especially oaks and evergreens) is not a bad thing to do as most non-fruit trees like acid

Anyway- a few ideas:
Spread thin on the lawn or garden- it contains potassium and other nutrients, but too much may raise pH.
Compost it
I use it in pottery glazes
Use it for traction on an icy driveway ( I do this a lot)
Dump lots of it where you have poison ivy, in waste spaces, etc where you want to kill weeds
Would you refer to it as an ash-hole? %-Pcrazy_dan said:...it all goes in the hole...
