If you want to encourage flowers in your vege garden, spread the ash under mature plants. Great for (nightshades) tomatoes, peppers, chillies, eggplants. Also works for strawberries

Edit: lump only

charred

Spent lump goes in the compost/veg. garden. Spent non-lump gets spread out back in the corner near the brush pile.

I also let is sit for quite a while and then into a paper bag then into the green bin.

Over the fence into the neighbor's yard,

And i'm not a dickweed about it, I rotate which fence. South fence, northfence, east fence. Lather, rinse, repeat.

It will be even more fun once my ash trebuchet is finished.

I didn't know that ashes could go into the green bin so I'll have to consider doing that instead of the garbage.  They usually sit for several days before the ash catchers on the barbecues get emptied or the bottom of the smoker gets cleaned out.  Same with ash from the fireplace in my living room (every house my parents had when I was growing up had a wood burning fireplace and my own house has one; I can't imagine living in a house without one), so fire safety is something I do take very seriously; Burning Down The House is a Talking Heads song, not something I want to do for real.

As for the video, I had a good laugh.  Reminds me of the downtown Toronto condo crowd...

dump at edge of the yard.

Since they are pretty much like a powder, I just spread them at the edge of the yard.  After a few days of the dew or a rain, they're gone.

I use a small galvanized bucket with lid that I got from Home Depot.  Once they are cool, I use them to soak up the liquid from the water pan in the WSM. Or just throw them out once the bucket is full.
