First lots of rain.. then WE started putting ashes in large flat pans like mix concrete in.. finely sifted to take out the chunks from woodburning...
I put container under big toolshed then smaller one under an aluminum truck cap up on 3 foot tall palles sides ...
The big shed is prob over 3 feet tall underneath.... we hdwe cloth it for them from the shallower areas.... the undershed is enclosed by lattice at the downhill part, with stapled aluminum screening.. to the lattice....
Now concerned worried that two hens wheezing. Very fine sifted ashes was bothering them.. so changed to some ash and spaghnnum peat moss... still seemed very fine. yesterday.... dumped all that in my garden raised beds......
Yesterday with concern about the very fine wood ashes instead put all spagnum peat moss. put in those container for them
Today, now noticed its fine too when dry..
Of course they pefer dirt but with the past is was always to wet. we had so Much RAIN........... now we are in hot and dry weather..NOW.
BUT THEY PREFER THE COOL UNDER SHED AREA .... .... NOTICED UNDER SHED ITS STILL VERY MOIST CLAY DIRT MOSTLY.. when I crawled under there yesterday
