As part of the Nova Scotia Nutrient Management Plan for our pastures we received a tractor-trailer load of wood ash to be spread.
The ash arrived on a beautiful calm Thursday afternoon, and I called our neighbour with the equipment to let him know that Friday would be a good day to spread the as beecause rain was forcasted for Saturday.
Friday morning arrived with a stiff breeze. The neighbour arrived and the breeze became a strong wind. We spread the ash anyway in a cloud of blowing black soot. By the time we were finished the wind was gale force. It was a good thing that we received more ash than we really needed as a good portion of it blew into the woods across the road.
Each one of us was covered in black ash, and soap and showers were running full force that afternoon.
