Introducing the Ancient Powers of Wood Vinegar

Have you heard of wood vinegar? It's been around for thousands of years, yet most gardeners and farmers haven't heard of it. Used around the world, pyroligenous acid is not yet popular in the USA. Many are familiar with biochar, which wood vinegar is a natural by product of. Vermisterra is proud to introduce CharWise wood vinegar-- a high caliber, versatile product to our customers.

Wood vinegar (also known as pyroligneous acid) is a versatile natural product used in organic farming for pest control, soil improvement, and plant health. A natural way to boost your soil, plants, and ecosystem.

VermisTerra CharWise wood vinegar or pyroligneous acid, is a powerful, eco-friendly liquid derived from natural hardwood during the process of making biochar. This ancient substance has been trusted for thousands of years in Asia, the Amazon, and beyond—now brought to you in a modern, sustainable way.

Dark brown with a smoky aroma, Wood Vinegar is packed with organic acids, phenols, and lightweight biomolecules like Karrikins, which form in nature after wildfires. Karrikins are recognized as key signaling molecules in plant regeneration after wildfires. This aligns with the long history of using fire in agriculture as a tool for renewal and growth. 

Plants have evolved to respond positively to the components of CharWise in different ways, including accelerated germination, better nutrient uptake, improved stress response, stronger root growth, and enhanced chlorophyll production. Acetic acid is the most abundant organic acid, along with propionic, butyric, pyruvic, malic, lactic, succinic, and other organic acids.
