Congrats to AGC for their first contributor outside the U.S, and a thank-you to Mr. Leong for the essays!
I am somewhat curious what the differences would be between the effects of wood vinegar versus something like cider vinegar. I know they are different acids, but given the concerns expressed by Michael, I wonder if they wouldn’t have similar enough applications? A natural cider vinegar would be anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, and would promote microbes, while being quite safe. I admit, the one thing I wanted more on from this essay was an explanation of “wood vinegar” and its differences from other vinegars and the process in which it is made. It seems that it is far less common here in the U.S. as I have never heard of it before.
