Lye is a very strong base with a pH of 13.
sodium hydroxide (lye, Draino)= pH 13-14
Adds potassium and increases pH.
Lye has a pH level of 14 and is often used in bars of soap. When lye is added to fats and/or oils (acids) the two combine into soap. This process has been around for thousands of years!
Lye solution is basic.

The stronget base would be something like lye with a Ph level of 14.
Sodium hydroxide is an alkali; the pH of the solution is over 7.
lye aka sodium hydrocloride. its found in hair bleaching/relaxing products
An extreme example of high acidic pH is battery acid, while an extreme example of a high alkaline pH level is lye or ammonia, while pure water lies in the middle of this scale.
I read that blossom end rot in tomatoes is caused by a calciumdeficiency. You can add calcium to your soil by adding gypsum or lye but adding lye also raises the pH of your soil.
