I use wood ash as a fertilizer in the garden and put some in the straw flooring in the chicken coop, as well as where the hens take their dust baths. I am about to apply some in hopes of controlling our out-of-hand flea beetle problem. For two years now, I have struggled to get any of my cruciferous vegetables to survive in face of the flea beetles' voracious attacks. :(

I have always wanted to try soap-making with it but feel daunted by the length of the project. So much else to do!
