Hello
Do you know if there is a way to reuse the ashes from my chimney?
I learned that it is possible to clean the windows of the closed hearth of the chimney with ashes, an old sponge and water, but I have not tried it yet. Can they be used as fertilizer for plants?
It seems that the ash is mainly composed of mineral salts !!
Thanks for your help
How to reuse ash?

Hello
I already used this method to clean the glass of the insert, but in the long run, the glass was scratched because the logs or more simply the wood used contained traces of earth or sand which are found in the ashes.
on the other hand, we use ash in the house, if the dog forgets himself (example), very effective, it absorbs a lot.
and if it's not as fertilizer, at least we spread it on the ground.

Hi Pitmix, it's been a while!
For the ashes: I confirm, it is 100% mineral.
It is therefore a good fertilizer provided you do not abuse it.

The ashes also generally make it possible to raise the PH of an acid earth.
You can also use it as a 100% ecological detergent.

Well, I found that too, I didn't know: https://www.econologie.com/forums/cendre-pou ... t3422.html
ps: I just copy / paste the composition of wood ash

wood ash contains a lot of potash
a long time ago it was used to wash clothes: it is less effective than real detergent and does not work well until very hot
today I still use ash to clean very dirty things: mechanics full of sludge, drain pan of oil: it's less effective than a good detergent, but it costs nothing

I spread the ashes of my stove under the perch of
hens. This dries out the droppings and transforms them very
quickly 1 to 2 days max in a kind of potting soil
dark brown that has no smell. I haven't had the
courage to check the taste. The feathers are also
digested by ash. The stem of a large feather disappears
In a week .
I use this fertilizer for rhubarbs.
effects on them is dazzling. I get superb
rhubarb with this technique.
