I would definitely work it into the soil before planting it with grass. It is dry here too and I certainly had not planned on doing that yesterday but when I went out in the morning and wonder-of-wonders, there was NO wind I couldn't resist at least trying. I thought it would still be too green but it burned and the wind stayed down until just at the end, but thankfully I was almost done. Hope this helps. SO much work waiting in the spring, huh?<br /><br />North of here they fought a huge grass fire yesterday. It is dry here too!Janet Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126248666972072628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504381264366497570.post-30293113362170704162016-04-19T17:49:28.870-04:002016-04-19T17:49:28.870-04:00Our burn pile is huge but we're waiting until ...Our burn pile is huge but we're waiting until the no burn order is gone now. It is very dry here apparently as we had little snow this winter so it's too dangerous. Also it's been very windy the past week so we wait. Do you put your ashes into the garden soil? Does it help? We will have a pile of ash to get rid of and are grassing over most of the garden area. Do you think it is a good idea to spread the ashes into the dirt before we seed it? Thanks.
