RE: Be Careful Adding Wood Ash to the Garden 🔥Fire & Hard Lesson Learned...
We put our ash from the wood burning stove in a metal bucket with a lid outside. I won't spread it in the pasture for at least 3 days.
Thanks for this reminder. When I lived in town, I had a neighbor put his charcoals from his grill into his trashcan. He thought they weren't hot anymore. A neighbor thankfully rushed over with a hose to put out his garbage. I wasn't home at the time but little damage was seen, thankfully.
I am sorry very that so much was ruined in this fire. Scary stuff fire can be.
Great way to do it, @yoginiofoz. Suffocate the embers - a metal can with a lid is also what I use. It looks like a mini metal trash can that you'd expect Oscar from Sesame Street to live in..haha
You're lucky to have great neighbors! Garbage cans are perfect fire starters and plastic trash bins will turn into a river of flames that can spread fire rapidly. Very scary stuff, indeed. Fire is something to respect. Material possession can be replaced, but human life cannot.
Amen!
