Turning waste into living soil
Biochar is an environmentally friendly form of soil-enhancing charcoal produced in the UK through pyrolysis.
It turns organic bio waste into a stable and sustainable material, reducing greenhouse emissions by locking away CO2 and supporting broader global environmental efforts. Using biochar in soil can improve soil structure and water retention, retain nutrients, regulate pH, act as an effective carbon trap, absorb odour, and provide an improved habitat for microbes. Biochar can therefore offer many benefits to gardeners, allotment owners, smallholders, farmers, pet owners, and the equestrian community.
