Save the Wood Ashes.

Save all OF the wood ashes and use
around fruit trees as fertilizer Wood
ashes are especially good for peach
trees, and they will benefit all fruit
trees and vines. In using them as a
fertilizer do not place any against the
trunk of the tree. since the strong
alkali will spoil the bark. Scatter
them thinly on the soil over a circle
as big as the top OF the tree. The
feeding roots run out further than the
longest branches Of the tree.
