5 Good Uses for Wood Ash

As we move from Winter Fire Places to Summer Braais... Here are some great uses for the ash 

1. De-skunk pets. A handful rubbed on Fido's coat neutralizes the lingering odour. 

2. Block garden pests. Spread evenly around garden beds, ash repels slugs and snails. 

3. Pump up tomatoes. For the calcium-loving plants, place 1/4 cup right in the hole when planting, 

4. Clean glass fireplace doors. A damp sponge dipped in the dust scrubs away sooty residue brilliantly.

5. Shine silver. A paste of ash and water makes a nontoxic metal polisher.
