But that much ash would damage crops --- not forver, but for several seasons certainly.
It's a problem, but not a crisis.
And besides, what can you prevent?
If you try to "vent" the thing....but it's already overpressurized, you end up blowing it prematurely but into a disaster anyway.
You blow it too early, and you've done no good - since it might have have blown 40-400-4000 years from now anyway, and not have caused damage then because they could handle a "minor volcano" at that time!

If you try to "vent" the thing Large pipes driven into the ground with multi-ton steam bobblers hissing on top. Still seems like a workable plan.

Ash can enrich the soil, so when all is said and done, the soil will be more fertial than it is right now.

Perhaps the successful operation of a sharp pointy stick? One can only hope! :)
