Dealing with clean up of ash for outdoor enclosure.

[nightanole]

Ok so basically are yall saying I just need to spray the plants down really well with the water? The hibiscus are in pots with rocks on top of the soil. I opened up the cage and the screen is doing a really good job keeping the ash from getting into the actual cage. The hibiscus do not seem fazed 4 new blooms today.

I guess my only real concern since I can spray it off the cage and off the branches is would there be any danger of Beman eating the flowers since they have been exposed to it.

I do not understand the alkaline this and that. So I do not understand if there is actually risk or not. And since I overthink everything as yall know it makes it more difficult when there is potential of risk that I do not actually understand.

Beman can eat all the ash he likes. But yes just go nuts with the hose, udderly drown the hibiscus/plants for a half hour using the lawn sprinkler if they are in normal plant pots, it will just drain out and overflow the bottom catches. A few hours later id tilt the pots so the catches drain out, as i always end up with rotting dead crickets etc if they are filled to the rim.


The other "green thumb" stuff you only have to worry about if you start getting leaf yellowing etc.

The acid vs alkaline is only in regards to what grows well in that type of soil. If most of the ash is staying out, I think you are fine, as is Beman. Just spray it with the hose when its all over and call it a day.

Ill help a bit more. Its ok to eat the hot dog that fell in the fire if you wipe off the big chunks. Most cheese made before modern machinery had moderate amounts of ash in it.
