Our 80% Organic Carbon BioChar is an excellent soil amendment & conditioner produced from the pyrolysis of perennials plant biomass.
It helps increase organic matter in the soil and the soil’s ability to retain nutrients, moisture and oxygen. It also serves as a sorbent pulling pollutant from the soil and irrigation water.

Available in  20L & 40L Bags

Direction of Use:

Vegetable & Flower Beds: Broadcast 1-3cm over the entire growing area and incorporate with other amendments 10-15cm deep. Water thoroughly.
Container Gardens: An application rate of 5%-10% of soil mix is typical to maximize the utility of your potting mix.

Compost: In a tumbling composter or a compost bin, mix 10% by volume and incorporate into the composting process. For pile composting add a layer with each addition of organic material.

Hydroponic: Add 1 Tbsp to 1 liter of liquid nutrients for greater roots, more vigorous plants and greater budding.


MUST BE ACTIVATED FIRST!
BioChar can be activated in multiple ways. The idea is to incorporate nutrients (i.e our Fish Soluble Fertilizer, worm castings, compost, composted/sterilized manure & dry organic fertilizers/amendments) and beneficial organisms (with the aid of actively aerated compost teas) and then let it sit for 2 weeks while the mix is staying damp!

Benefits:

• Builds fertility and organic matter in soils. • Water-holding capacity = 5-6X its weight, good in droughts. • Hosts an array of beneficial soil microbes and fungi (especially when pre-inoculated). • Helps retain nutrients in the soil longer — boosts plant growth (especially when pre-inoculated)!
• Improves pH of acidic soils.
