Scent of Autumn in Monterey County California? By Ruth Paget

2026 Scent of Autumn Monterey County California by Ruth Paget

The ashes can be spread on soil as fertilizer if not too frequent. This is modified slash-and-burn fertilization that I saw in practice in Italy outside Florence on one of my rips there.
