[QUOTE="Av Gorritt, post: 8035785, member: 2303"] I've posted this before , but perhaps relevant . A Chap i knew in Derbyshire had a contract with a local factory to keep their boiler house coal hoppers full , and to take all the generated ash to their own tip . As tips are prone to do , this one caught fire from hot ash , and burned at a dangerous level for some time . He was at a complete loss as to how to dispose of the ash , and in desperation , took it home and spread it on his mowing land . The next growing season the land , which had never before had clover , was full of it ! He was at a loss to explain , except perhaps that there had been dormant clover seed there, that had germinated due to the general disturbance . I'm not sure how persistent it was as he took ill , and retired shortly afterwards . He was a very well known character in his area , perhaps some locals might remember him , Jack Hill , and Slack's paper mill ? [/QUOTE]
