New Use For a Skateboard

This friend of mine, who is a gardener was giving me some gardening tips, because I need to redo my flower beds along the sidewalk to my front door. Two tips she gave me among many, I wanted to share with you. First of all, I know I have told you about my pellet stove. While it doesn’t produce very much ash, she was telling me how ash is a valuable commodity for controlling the pH level in your garden. Ash is rich in Phosphorous and other elements. She said to save the ash in a metal container, just in case there are hot embers and then in the Fall, to sprinkle it over my garden, depending on what I plan to plant in my garden. The soil needs to be analyzed first. For instance, azaleas need a more acidic soil and this is also true of other plants and bushes. Make sure of what your plants NEED. The other tip was, that she uses her son’s skateboard to sit on as she works on her flower beds along the sidewalk leading to her front porch. What a good idea! It rolls right along with you, so you don’t have to keep getting up and down. Happy gardening! Picture by Pixabay
