Description

Biochar: Soil Amendment

Biochar, a fine-grained charcoal, is a charcoal made from pyrolyzed plant-based organic matter. Adding biochar to garden soil replenishes nutrients, retains moisture and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

When organic matter like wood, leaves, manure or gasses burns in limited oxygen environments, the water, chemicals and gasses within are released, but the carbon structures are left behind, resulting in microscopic pockets where moisture and bacteria are captured. Thriving bacterial growth in these microscopic chambers are building blocks for developing nutrient-rich soil. However, the benefits of biochar do not end with nutrition development and retention. The pH balance is neutralized, need for fertilizer is reduced, minerals are delivered to plant roots more easily, and “carbon sequestering” reduces the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Key Benefits:

  • increase yields
  • increase soil pH
  • increase fertilizer efficiency
  • remove pollutants and pesticides
  • increase soil moisture
  • mitigate climate change
  • increase soil microbe populations
  • increase cation exchange of soil
