What is Biochar?

Biochar is made up of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen as well as minerals in the ash fraction. Biochar is black, highly porous, and finely grained, with light weight, large surface area and pH, all of which have a positive effect when added to soil.

Biochar is a stable form of carbon and can last for thousands of years in the soil, it also stimulates soil fertility and improves soil quality by increasing soil pH. Biochar has the ability to retain moisture, attracting more useful fungi and other microbes, and preserving the nutrients in the soil.

How to use Biochar

Mix your biochar with compost and let it sit for at least 10 days. A 50/50 mix of biochar and compost will work well for charging purposes. Most farmers mix 20% biochar in their compost blend and add the “compo-char” blend as necessary.

Basic uses include: drinking water filtration, sanitation of human and kitchen wastes, and as a composting agent. 

Also you can:

1. Mix the biochar with compost - leave it to stand for 6-12 weeks.
2. Mix the biochar into the soil, leave it at least 3, preferably six months before planting.
