OK I should read my posts- that should have said BURN the tree for ash! Sorry I hope you havn't been digging a hole to bury it I will feel very guiltyDerry wrote:my dads already chopped the tree =[ but i suppose itll be easier to bury now its in pieces =D
pretty much everything im clearing is going into green bags atm.. we dont have a compost bin on the plot, and the bins in our garden are too full for anymore stuff

The ash has lots of minerals, really good for brassicas and legumes especially I'm told, and helps deter slugs too so I'm also told.
Nettles, alos great as nettle tea as a fertiliser- I have grown to love them, except when I'm weeding and I don't notice they are there.
