Glenn Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Very nicely shop entrance you have there. The aroma of flowers overpowers the smell of coal smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guessed ! There are bees, but no chickens, no geese, no pigs. Only dogs. 5 dogs. No vegetables, potatoes and other , only flowers.

windancer Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 My wife would have loved your gardens [as do I!], she was the green-thumber at our place. Her gardens, and most of the yard except the mowing, is slowly deteriorating. I don't have time for both, so the smithy wins, no contest at all. Truly beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pics Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyuv Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I hear that ash is a good fertilizer (I wonder about scale). This would make a nice synergy between the forge and it's garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt any hummingbirds, unless they've been exported. They're specific to the Americas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Coal ash and clinker are lousy for agricultural use (given potential heavy metal residue), but decent for lining pathways (away from food crops). Wood ash can be useful for calcium deficiency. Biochar (charcoal dust) can be quite good for loosening up heavy clay soil and promoting beneficial soil organisms.

John in Oly, WA Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 And beautiful gardens Alexandr! Sure thing, bigfoot. It's one of the unique treats of the Americas. When they come over for a visit, my English relatives love to watch the hummingbirds, as they don't have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
