If you have an outside toilet or outhouse. ...the ash is good to cover the results to stop the smell and to speed up composting.

We used it in the outhouse (pit toilet) helps break down solids and helps with odour

If you burn the wood hot enough you can get woodlime which is basically a binder that will Crete cement when mixed with aggregate

#7 glass cleaner works beautifully on my woodstove door. No need to buy special glass cleaner any longer. Thank you!

I use it to mix with acidic compost, pine and the needles mostly. I got good results because my soil is sand and clay, so it really boosted my garden.

Back home when i was a kid, we used ash as a worm deterrent when growing radishes. We would mix ash into the soil around the rows of radishes when planting.

I wish you had spoken those 10 things instead of just playing music because I listen to this educational stuff in the early morning while I’m getting breakfast for the kids and getting the laundry going etc. and so I can’t watch and read when I’ve got earphones on

I can think of at least 2 more uses. It can be used to make lye for soap making, and it works good for throwing under tires of vehicles stuck on ice.

I'm going to try this for slug control in my flower beds. I've been using beer traps but really hate wasting good alcohol. Thanks for the vid.

We also dump our ash in the chicken yard. The birds dust bathe in it and it kills mites.

My grandmother would mix kerosene with the ash after it was cooled, made a paste, and she used it as a fire starter to light her wood cook stove, did this for years reusing everything that was burned
