[QUOTE="wampum, post: 1259803, member: 13807"] Might sound crazy,but you can make good lye soap from hardwood ashes,and soft water. The left over ash is put on the garden,because of the potash content in the ash. My experience with wood ashes on the drive way is okay until spring comes and if too many ashes were dumped on the drive,you will get slush or mud. Coal ash is really good to stop slippage on ice because of the larger clinkers. But because of the sulfur in coal ash its not to good for gardens. That lye soap tends to burn your skin so be careful with it. But it does the job,especially in a pinch. [/QUOTE]
