BIO ACID
What is it?
Wood vinegar is a dark aqueous liquid obtained from the cooled and condensed exhaust fumes of a pyrolysis unit, where biomass is heated to high temperatures in the absence of air. Apart from wood vinegar, the condensed fumes are separated into a tar fraction and an oil. Wood vinegar is also referred to as pyroligneous acid.

What is it good for?
The following uses of wood vinegar have been investigated and tested:
There is evidence of use dating back thousands of years to the Amazon basin black terra preta earth – - in the 1800 and 1900’s there was substantial factories that commercially produced wood vinegar with creosote as a source of acetic acid
Japan and throughout Asia has used it extensively for several decades for all sorts of uses and replacement of synthetic agrichemicals with unprecendented success.
