We work hard to be as sustainable as possible, but there are still many instances where I think we could do much better.....This post, however, is pretty neat....
As mentioned earlier, we have a partially wooded property. We use that wood during the winter to heat our wonderfully efficient home....one fireplace heats the whole house all winter! The ashes and charcoal get collected throughout the winter. In the spring, we separate the charcoal and the ash. The charcoal is given to the pigs, who eat it, as a natural de-wormer. The ash gets spread on the fields, in areas where we have a lot of wild onions, which the cattle don't like. The ash changes the ph of the soil and deters them from growing. Not bad!
