Spreading wood ash

The spreader arrived and we can now begin spreading the wood ash from New England Organics.  The wood ash helps balance soil PH and adds nutrients like magnesium and potassium to the soil.  It’s similar to putting lime on the ground.  Vaughn and Lew are very impressed with the big spreader and wish they had one just like it for spreading manure!

It takes many buckets to fill this spreader - almost 20!

It takes many bucket loads from the tractor to fill this super spreader - almost 20! The spreader can hold over 300 cubic feet of material.

This spreader works very well for distributing the ash without creating big clouds of black dust.

This spreader has twin expellers that work very well for distributing the ash without creating big clouds of black dust.
