At the Whittle and Flame Wood Distillery we are on a mission to capture and utilise every product that is created in the process of Thermal Destructive Distillation of the trees harvested from our woodlands. Wood Vinegar is one of those products. In nature it is created in wildfires where its role is to cause the regeneration of whole landscapes. The chemical signals it contains trigger responses in seeds, plants and micro organisms in our living soils. If you think this is incredible, imagine what it can do in your garden!
It tells seeds that this is a good time to germinate, and causes roots to grow deep. It triggers leaves to collect more energy from the sun and activates plant’s abilities to withstand pest and disease. It boosts growth-promoting soil fungi and bacteria to create and distribute vital resources to growing plants. It causes plants to produce fruits with higher nutritional value, and all of this without costing the Earth.
Perfect for house plants, flower beds, vegetable plots, trees and even your lawn.
Liquid composition: 20% organic compounds, 80% water
When diluted apply at 1 litre per square meter. There’s no need to over-apply as a little goes a very long way.
Key Benefits
Improves Overall Plant Health
Improved plant health, darker green leaves for better photosynthesis and increased sugar conversion for soil microbes, thicker and stronger stems, higher growth rates and yields, increased fruit sugar content, naturally more resistant to disease
Soil Enhancing
Increasing beneficial microbial activity, feeding the life in your soil increases it's ability to support healthy plants.
Deep Root Growth
Boosts germination of seeds, cause vigorous and deep root growth, as well as causing plants to activate their natural defence mechanisms against pest and disease.
Environmentally Friendly
Regenerative Natural ingredients. Created in an oxygen free environment. This powerful regenerative liquid can be diluted and used in agriculture without any associated pollution.
To Use Wood Vinegar As A Spray
Using the same 1:200 dilution rate, wood vinegar can be used as a spray directly onto leaves. This will give deep green, glossy foliage and is great for dealing with aphids or greenfly, and for fungal problems with roses, for example.
Large leaved house plants will enjoy this little treatment too.
Important Note: Wood Vinegar shows beneficial plant health at lower rates but at increased concentration can also show detrimental effects to the plant health.
Wood Vinegar should always be diluted and strength will vary between foliar and soil application along with frequency of application.
"Wood vinegar has been shown to boost plant growth and productivity, remove toxic metals from soil, inhibit soil ureases, mitigate the emission of green house gases, control phytopathogen proliferation and weed dissemination"
