The Launch of ROOF Original Wood Vinegar Spray

In a bid to enhance pest management in compost, Soymil Corporation, based in Sumida, Tokyo, has recently launched the ROOF Original Wood Vinegar Spray. This innovative product aims to address the pesky insects that often disrupt composting, while simultaneously improving soil quality.

Product Details

The wood vinegar spray will be available in two sizes:

• - 50ml will be launched on August 11 at 10 AM.
• - 100ml will be available starting September 1 at 10 AM.

The introduction of this spray not only prevents the emergence of bothersome pests but is also expected to contribute positively to soil enhancement. For those gardening during the summer months, when insects are more likely to appear, this product is especially essential.

What is Wood Vinegar?

Wood vinegar is a liquid produced from the smoke that is generated during the carbonization of wood. It activates beneficial microorganisms, thereby possessing disinfecting properties for the soil. This makes it a promising option for pest control, promoting plant growth, and improving soil quality. Recognized for its role in organic farming, wood vinegar helps to minimize the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

As a pest control method for compost, the utility of wood vinegar is significant. Sprinkling this solution on compost piles can help preemptively ward off troublesome insects like fruit flies. As summer brings higher chances of insect activity, now is the perfect time to try this solution.

Development Background

Hello everyone! I am Kohei Sato, the representative of ROOF. Our compost product utilizes cedar sawdust combined with beneficial wood-fermenting microorganisms, enabling an effective composting solution suitable for your kitchen.

We have received feedback from users who have experienced insect invasions while keeping their compost bins open on balconies. This led some to discontinue usage. Realizing that the fermentation process could not outpace the arrival of these insects, we felt compelled to find a solution.

During the development process, we were introduced to the concept of wood vinegar by researchers from Shimamoto Microbial Industry Co., Ltd., who developed our compost. This traditional wisdom, derived from the beneficial liquid obtained during charcoal production, sparked the idea of offering this functional product in compact sizes for easy storage, including areas like shoe boxes.

Encouragingly, wood vinegar serves not only pest control but also soil improvement, and we strongly encourage its use in your gardening efforts.
