What to do with fireplace ashes

There are many more uses for fireplace ashes than I ever knew. 1. Compost bin - only a little amongst the organic matter. 2. A light layer around plants can keep slugs away. 3. A tablespoon of ash to 1000 gallons of water for a pond will keep algae down.. 4. As a fertilizer. 5. Cleaning silver.
Can you give more ways to use ashes?

I use the ashes from my woodstove to clean the window in the woodstove. Just pick up some ash with a wet paper towel and scrub the window. Then wipe down with a new wet paper towel. It works great!
