ASHES TO ASHES
"Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust"
is a succinct but fitting commen
tary on the brief earthly sojourn of
the higher organisms. Ashes are
the minerals that living plants take
up from the soil to meet their
metabolic needs. These minerals
then pass into the bodies of
animals who rely upon plants for
food. After death the organic con
stituents of plant and animal
bodies are broken down - ozidized
slowly by decomposer
microorganisms, or combusted
rapidly in the flash and heat of
fire. Unconsumed, the ashes re
main.
These are the ashes that ac
cumulate regularly and annoyingly
in your solid fuel burner. Wood
ashes also may include a little dirt
that was ground into the bark dur
ing harvest and processing of the
fuelwood, along with a little un
burned char. Coal ashes contain
not only the mineral constituents
of the original plants that died and
accumulated to form the coal, but
also mineral contaminations that
washed or sifted into the seam as
coal was forming.
Wood is very low in ash
-typically between 0.5 percent and
three percent, which will yield
around 50 to 60 pounds of ash per
cord. Coal is much more ashy.
Domestic coal generally has an ash
content ranging from five percent
to 12 percent. Coal consumers
should inquire about the ash con
tent of my given load of coal from
coal retailers. Since ash represents
the incombustible fraction of the
coal, a low-ash product obviously
provides more BTUs for the
money. A ton of 10-percent ash
coal will yield around 200 pounds
of ashes.
Clean ashes regularly from all
solid fuel- burning appliances.
Ashbuildup in the firebox can in
terfere with the draft and may
reduce the amount of space for
fuel. How often a stove or furnace
needs cleaning depends upon the
type of appliance, and the mode
and frequency of operation. Many
experts do recommend maintain
ing a two or three-inch ash bed in
the firebox at all times to insulate
both the stove bottom and the
floor beneath from the intense
combustion heat.
Remove wood or coal ashes into
a covered metal pail; a cheap,
galvanized bucket with a cover
serves well, although fancier pro
ducts are available. Set the bucket
immediately on a non-combustible
surface. A metal container will not

burn or melt, but it will do a nice
job of transmitting the heat from
live coals into a pine floor. If you
are scooping ashes out with a
shovel, the area near the cleanout
door should be cleared of com
bustibles (carpeting, newspapers,
kindling) that could go up if a live
coal escaped the shovel.
Dump the smaller bucket of
ashes into a large metal garbage
can for bulk storage; keep this can
covered too, especially if the ashes
are stored outside. This not only
will prevent the escape of remain
ing live coals, but will keep the
ashes from leaching valuable
minerals of much use in garden
soils.
Fresh, dry wood ashes are grey
and fluffy, and have a multitude of
domestic uses. Consider them a
valuable resource rather than a
waste product to be trucked to the
landfill.
Sprinkled onto garden soils,
spread over lawns or around fruit
trees and berry bushes, wood ashes
make a valuable fertilizer, pro
viding a exceptionally fine source
of calcium (lime), a good source of
potassium, magnesium and
numerous trace elements, and a
fair source of phosphorus all in
readily available forms that plants
can use. Store the ashes tightly
covered to prevent leaching of the
minerals, and spread them in the
garden at least two weeks prior to
spring planting to allow the rapid
changes in soil chemistry to occur
before seedlings are set and seeds
are planted.
Because wood ashes are highly
alkaline, with a pH of around 13,
they help maintain the near-neutral
conditions preferred by most
garden crops. Apply them at the
rate of about 50 pounds per 500 to
1,000 square feet of garden, lawn
or orchard. Dig extra into the beds
where the lime and potassium
loving squash, cucumbers and
melons will be planted, and watch
them grow! Do not spread ashes
where potatoes, watermelons,
blueberries, or other acid loving
plants will be planted.
Gardeners tending postage
stamp-size gardens who make a
regular practice of dumping wood
ashes onto their soil may find pH
levels rising way above the slightly
acid to neutral levels most
beneficial to crops. Coos County,
New Hampshire extension agent
Leighton Pratt says over-alkaline
conditions resulting from heavy
applications of wood ashes can be
avoided by an annual soil test in
the fall to make sure the garden
can use the coming winter's ac
cumulation of ashes. (Continued
next week.)
