Am i being petty
Last week i spent 5 hours burning bramble ect at the back of my plot only to return there today and find the oil drum which was full of wood ash empty! I had planned putting it on the middle of the plot which iv just cleared, but when i arrived today with a list of things to do in my head, i grabbed my wheel-barrow headed for the drum and.. its gone, the drum was completly empty.
Hubs thinks im making a mountain out of a mole hill. I think they have a bloody cheek.
yeah, ok.. iv got plenty of wood to burn but thats not the point!
They wouldnt like it if i strolled over to their plot and helped myself to their manure which we get free and delivered for free; its the principle of it..I wouldnt dream of taking anything from someone elses plot without asking, not even a bloody weed!
If they are prepared to nick wood ash, what else are they prepared to take when my backs turned. Am i the only one to think its courteous to ask? it feels like a trust has been broken!
I bought a cheap cold frame today, a bit of forward planning for my tomatoes and peppers. I thought of putting the pots in there in a few weeks time to harden off before planting.. Now im not so sure thats a good idea!

I totally agree with you, that’s completely out of the order! It’s always difficult to find a good response to this. Getting angry doesn’t seem to work – so I’ve learned from experience.
Maybe it was an innocent misunderstanding, someone who thought it was ‘communal’ woodash… Maybe you could put up a friendly little sign to show you’re happy to share, but not without permission. Good luck!
