IS it better than the grass that you use in your previous posts...or would you use it with...

Re: Hawaii Biochar
 

It depends on which banana and the situation.

It's a soil amendment that can be used with many other soil amendments.

I use it with grass & compost to bind the excess nutrients and it also helps

keep the soil loose for the next 100 years.

I would like to learn more about if it has any beneficial effects on corm rot,
