Default Re: DIY Biochar

Activated/medical grade char has an additional controlled process which an additional inert gas(look it up) is introduced in the char process which increases the porosity of the char.

Backyard burners do not achieve this.

But... what we backyard growers do is adequate.

Charcoal becomes biochar after it is introduced to the ground.


Btw I made 2o lbs dry weight the last few days. soaking/charging in three 5 gal buckets.
I used a 1/2 cup Espoma Bloom buster with a teaspoon of mychorizza as a kicker per bucket.
Cost 16.00 us
