| |  To anyone with a corn stove. Good organic ferts. | |
Just thought I'd share this little bit of info. If you have a corn burning stove or know someone that does, you can use the ashes as organic ferts. The ashes contain good amounts of potassium and phosphour, and lower amounts of nitrogen.
People use the stuff in tomato gardens with good results. The tomato's seem to grow like monsters and more red/ripe.

It's mainly wood ashes that raise the acidic levels. Corn ash is great for ferts, but like any other fert, it can be overdone.
Corn stoves have been around for sometime. The cost of corn is however on the rise. A couple years ago, a bushel (56lb) was $1.50-$2.00, now it's around $5.00. Still alot cheaper than lp, and some nat. gas.
Many stores such as lowes. home depot, ect.. sell them, but it would be cheaper to look online. My advice to anyone that ever decides to get one, is to get a multifuel model, and research it well to be sure that it really is multifuel, and not just a sales pitch. This way when one fuel source gets too high, one can always use another.
Depending on the home size, insulation, and present fuel type/cost, you can save anywhere from a couple hundred, to a couple thousand dollars over the heating season. |

I know several people that have been using corn stoves for a while . I agree that the multi-fuel is the way to go. |
