Default Re: Making potash

Indeed, potash should make soil a little more alkaline, because it contains potassium carbonate (kind of baking soda). However, I think if you don't use really huge amounts the effects won't be really big though...
You could give it a test by dissolving the potash in some water, leaving it for a hour stirring, and have a look with a pH-paper.
Kind regards,
Remko.
