Fun things to do with volcano ash (Anchorage: insurance, live)

[HighlandLady]

That just may work, Wanderer (hope all is well with you, btw). One would think there would be some sort of skin benefit with a pile of this stuff.

That being said...I don't know if I am recalling this right or no, but isn't ash supposed to be a benefit when it is mixed in the ground? Or am I thinking on something else entirely?

You're right, but volcanic ash has a lot glass in it, so it's not like taking fire ash and mixing it in the soil.

All is well with us cept for the delayed departure.

And yes ash, that is Bar-B-Que Ash is excellent in gardens. That perfessor feller's maters thrived on it!

I knew it was ash...makes sense though that volcanic ash isn't necessarily a good thing. I found an ash layer a few inches under the topsoil when I was planting bulbs this fall.

Kiss my black ash!

I should put it in buckets then put it on ice next winter.

I'm learning Hydroponics for growing in my modified green house I'm building.
Setting it up to run off solar, 12 volt, wind. 10x10x10.

It's a work in progress but should be done in another month or so. Then I get to tear it down and put it on a pallet it for the move up.

I just want to make sure that I get my ashes hauled.


I prefer the grass to look green.
