How long have people used potash?
People have used potash since the earliest of times. In 500 A. D. it was used in the making of soap. In ancient times, potash was made from the ash of plants that would then be placed in pots of water. The main use of potash is for fertilizers.

Solution mining involves injecting heated brine into the ore body, dissolving the potash, and then pumping the resulting brine to the surface for processing. Underground mining involves accessing the potash deposit through shafts or tunnels and extracting the ore for processing.
What are the disadvantages to mining potash?
Potash, a natural source of potassium (the word potassium is derived from potash), can be produced from sylvinite, a mineral found in the Earth. The mining of sylvinite and other minerals can lead to erosion, sinkholes, pollution, and loss of biodiversity due to land development.
