wonder if sulfate of pot ash would work adding some sulfur and perhaps helping to kill the bugs?

It will kill bugs but its best not to add it to anything that will sit on the leaves a while as it will burn holes in them, it will convert to sulphuric acid as it oxidises.

yeahā¦butā¦sulfur is used microionized and is also an essentialā¦the quantity required to make soap should be pretty low. Best usage I can see looks as though puttin it on at lights out and washing it off at lights on for a few days in a row works best.

Iām not sure about the conversion rate, shipping, etc, but it is cheap to make sure you have the right stuff.
Lye/ sodium Hydroxide is used to make hard soap, we want liquid soap. I ended up with lye my first go around, so it happens.
Turtle is the one that turned me onto it.
