Application Of Manure Ashes

Soils, Fertilizers and Irrigation
Having recently got a lot of manure plentifully supplied with redwood
shavings that had been used with the bedding, and being afraid to use
the same in that shape, as it takes such a long time for the wood to
rot, I reduced the pile to a heap of ashes. How can it be best applied
to ornamental trees and shrubbery in a light gravelly soil?
You have done unwisely in burning the manure. We would have taken the
like ornamental trees and shrubbery. You have left merely the skeleton
temperature ran very high by burning in a mass. You need not be fearful
about using these ashes. Scatter or spread them over the ground just as
what they can and go on with your usual methods of cultivation.
