Yes. Our products are USDA- and OMRI-certified for use in organic production. That means certified organic farms can use them with confidence
It’s difficult. Because biochar is stable carbon, not a fast-acting chemical, it doesn’t “burn” crops. Very high rates might temporarily tie up nutrients if applied raw, but blending with compost or applying alongside fertilizers prevents that. Over time, more biochar usually means more benefits.
Biochar is like a sponge and a hotel combined: its pores hold water and nutrients, while also providing shelter for beneficial microbes  . The result is soil that retains more moisture, delivers nutrients more efficiently, and supports healthier microbial life — all of which translate into stronger, more resilient crops.
- Micronized biochar is ultra-fine, almost powder-like. It mixes easily with water, compost, or liquid fertilizers, making it great for precision applications, fertigation, or root-zone injections.
- Bulk biochar comes in larger particle sizes, delivered in super sacks. It’s ideal for orchards, vineyards, and large-scale soil restoration projects. Both improve soil health, but they’re designed for different scales and methods.
Decades. Biochar is highly stable carbon — unlike fertilizers that wash away or break down quickly, it stays put, continuing to improve soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability year after year. That’s why a one-time application of bulk biochar can deliver benefits for decades.
No. While there is historical use of wood vinegar (also called pyroligneous acid or mokusaku) in traditional medicine, LunaChar Wood Vinegar is not safe for human consumption. Research has shown antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, but there are also clear warnings about toxicity, irritation, and potential carcinogenic compounds depending on how it’s produced
Agricultural authorities explicitly advise against drinking or ingesting wood vinegar. There are no established safe dosage levels, no clinical trials, and no regulatory approvals for human use.
LunaChar products are designed for agricultural and environmental applications only — soil, crops, compost, and livestock bedding. They should never be consumed or used internally by humans or animals.
Not exactly. Think of it as a booster: it helps seeds germinate faster, roots grow deeper, and plants resist disease. It can reduce reliance on synthetic inputs by improving efficiency, but it isn’t a silver bullet. Used alongside good soil practices, it becomes one of the most versatile allies in your toolkit.
Wood vinegar is typically diluted in water and applied as a foliar spray, root drench, compost activator, or bedding treatment. Rates vary by use, but most applications fall in the range of 1:200 to 1:500 dilution (½–1 ounce per gallon of water). Start small, take notes, and adjust as you see results.
Yes. Wood vinegar is safe for people, animals, and pollinators when used as directed. It’s a natural distillate from wood, not a synthetic chemical. You’ll notice a smoky, vinegar-like smell, but it won’t harm you or your crops. It’s also forgiving — if you get the dilution a little wrong, you’re unlikely to cause damage.
