[Terrapreta] Wood vinegar pesticide

[Gerald Van Koeverden]

I've translated some of the pesticide uses of wood vinegar from the  
Thai language on the A.T.A. web site:

1.  for fungus (mildew?) on tomatoes and cucumbers, spray at a  
concentration of 1:200
2.  for tomato root rot, water base of plant at concentration of 1:200
3. for cabbage, to repel insects, use concentration of 1:1500 in  
watering can
4. for corn, to repel insects, spray 1:300 concentration
