I think just by pouring water through the ashes [/quote] Which is why vinegar would be used to balance it. Lye is alkaline, vinegar is acidic, together they would create a balanced ph, or at least more so. [/quote]

They had wood ash, vinegar, pine needles and probably other stuff. I am thinking the vinegar reacts with the basic ash to make a type of potassium fertilizer? Anyone here a chemist who knows what they were making and how much of each?
