Worked on the website, to get wp-dev working and ended up reworking nginx_proxy and the system for certificate control. It took down the wiki, which was finally restored. Went to the Learning Center and build roof modules.

Note on vinegar: is a side product that is made trough the process of wood pyrolysis.
It can be used for acidifying water ph, as crop protection for organic farming, as composting input to reduce odor and increase speed of process.
