  • What will they do with all the ash from this Chilean volcano?

    Just been reading the bbc news link to the volcanic eruption in Chile, and the photos got me thinking about all the ash.

    What happens to it, does it just wash away in rain or does it turn to a sort of mud? It must take ages to clear up if it has to be taken away and dumped somewhere.

    Have to leave it to cool a bit, otherwise it can melt your bin, and the council get a bit upset.

    It becomes the fertile volcanic soil of the future.

    Oh, and next winter may be colder as a result of the eruption.

    I heard a few UK councils are buying it to mix with a binder to ‘repair’ bridleways….

    My mum would have had it all swept up when she got in from work – before she took her coat off.

    Isn’t that basically what the Swinley trails are made of. Fly ash rather than volcanic obviously. They could have a killer all weather trail centre.
