Ash hazard?
Along the 48 hour moorings in Braunston are these signs declaring that ash is harmful and shouldn't be dumped in the hedgerow.
I don't tip ash into the canal, of course, but it's news to me that it's environmentally unfriendly. I would dig it into my garden at home, so what's the harm to a hedge? As long as it is cold, naturally.

Coal ash contains arsenic as well as other heavy metals many of them toxic. wood ash on the other hand can be a natural source of potassium, depending on what the wood is, and its age, but it's best mixed with other materials or added to a compost heap in small amounts.
Thanks Caroline and Martin. So ash should be bagged and binned, then. It appears that not many people do this.
