Five minute freewrite by @myjob

this is my post for #freewriters Wednesday prompt sloppy hosted by @mariannewest

Wooo-hooo, we got our stimulus check. What a relief. I am not sure why the government is giving out so much money but it sure comes at a needed time. This should get us by until trout season opens May first, then if we can catch bait, we should be alright. I feel like a big weight has been lifted off of me.
I have been pulling weeds and trimming plants, instead of hauling them to the dump I have been burning them. I have a metal barrel that I burn in.

After I have burned for a few weeks and the barrel is almost half full of cooled-off ashes, I lay it on its side and shovel all the ashes from it.

It is a sloppy job but it is very good for my plants. I shovel it all around my banana trees and my pineapple plants.

The bananas love it, all plants love the ashes. Potash is made from burning hardwoods but I just burn everything, it might not be as high in potassium but it is better than nothing.
