Biochar for Gardening
Biochar is the perfect environmental soil improver.
Biochar comes in two forms, pure biochar, and enriched biochar. The differences are outlined below:
Pure biochar - this is the product in its raw form, produced during the pyrolysis process, it is then cooled and packaged, with nothing added to it. You can enrich it yourself before using by adding it to your compost heap for a few weeks or mixing it with your choice of fertiliser.
Enriched biochar - this product is ready to be used, straight out of the box, to improve your soil. Bursting with carefully selected, beneficial natural products to boost plant health and improve soil. For best results soak in water before use to hold moisture in your soil.
Benefits of using biochar for gardening include:
- It stores and releases moisture and nutrients for greater drought resistance and reduced nutrient leeching.
- It improves soil microbiology and structure by providing structure for fungi and bacteria boosting microbial activity and improving aeration.
- It is 100% natural and environmentally friendly by locking carbon into the soil.
We recommend an application rate of 1 part biochar: 9 parts soil.
