Save Your Ashes

Spoiling
the garden – bought fertilizer, 3kg bucket – 29.99 actually I thought
it was 9.99 and then just acted cool about it at the checkout counter. I
get a free measuring cup with it – oh joy! Then a couple of days later I
get a gardening tip “save your ashes from the campfire or fireplace to
spread on the garden for a FREE organic soil booster” The ashes also
deter garden pests. WHA! Where’s the receipt, I haven’t opened it yet!

If
you’ve already planted, you can still take advantage of what the ashes
have to offer by simply side-dressing around growing plants. Use it in
vegetable gardens, flower beds, around shrubs and even on your lawn!
