Now that's what I need to spread ash. That looks like it would go just about anywhere.

I'm in my second year using wood ash. Total for 2 years is 620 tons. Around here with lime spread running $36-$38 per ton now the ash is very attractive. Ash and trucking is free here.

I bought a used manure spreader (side delivery Martin) and it's worked good. The screw and paddles takes care of any lump/chunks. Had some cutover timber ground and applied 6.5 tons per acre. On pasture and hay fields I shoot for 4 tons per acre. Have done soil test and it's brought the PH from 5.6 up to 6.7. The grass turns green within hours after a good rain behind spreading. There's a little nitrogen in the ash too.

I live about 16 miles from a wood burning power plant. The guy doing the trucking comes by here evey day so all I have to do is pick up the phone and ask for it. He has a trucking fleet and uses walking live bottom trailers. This power plant turns out 100 tons of ash per day.
