Yeah, I'm glad to be done with that, I must say. (The ashes. Oh my God, the ashes.)
Wood ash does wonderful things for the garden when added in small quantities. Also snails hate ash and won't cross it, so can be used to protect baby vegetables if you put a ring of ash around whatever plant or bed you want to protect. After that, the ash can be dug into the soil when the plants come out after harvest. I've never used briquettes or coal, as these ashes are a lot more toxic.
