This BB requires you to add ash from a rocket mass heater to a garden (light dusting). You are not required to build your own rocket mass heater, but access to one is required.

To get certified for this Badge Bit you must provide pics or video (<2 min) of the following:
  - ash coming out of rocket mass heater
  - labeled area before ash application
        - we want diversity for our garden, so some areas get ash and most don't.  Label where there are areas that do get ash to monitor the results.
  - area after ash has been applied
