I've been thinking about all the usable resources in forests for years. The forest service where I am are more into harassing ppl instead of managing the land. My research of the original constitution, before All the corruption started, points to a very different purpose and rules for public use of public lands. Dept of Ag is only a private for profit corporation, obeying corporate bylaws, which are loopholes around the real constitution. What the biochar is innoculated with is what's most important, for any application. Do your own research.
47:24 explains what I've been seeing that causes most of the city's power outtages. This year, the utility conpany brought in crews from around the country to cut back trees from the lines. Complete hack job, personal property damage, and stuff still pilled up after a few months. IMHO, everybody certified in the U.S. needs to watch this video and show at least 90days of continuous proper pruning practices, 30 days after watching this vid to continue doing business. edit: corrected timestamp because it was in 'time left' format not 'time elapsed' format
composite toe boots are good because they are just as strong as steal toe boots and they don't get freezing in the winter time when you're doing tree work
Nice explanation! sorry but i need to make a correction about the scale up of the particles sizes. From Clay to sand has a 1000X difference, if you compare a clay with a dime (17,5mm) the maximum size of a sand particle would be 17,5 meters!! Like Feynman said, there is plenty of room at the botton. Cheers from Brasil!
Okay, a bore cut is used on a tree with a heavy lean. You'll need to fell the tree in the direction of the lean, and you use a bore cut to prevent the tree from barber chairing. That's why you'd use a bore cut. You wouldn't use it in every application because, as a general rule, you want to avoid using the tip of the bar to make cuts. Since, you have to use the tip of the bar to make a bore cut, you would want to limit its use to avoid kickback.
Chaps are only required when cutting on the ground. They are not required when aloft (either in a tree or in a bucket), and they are flat out not to be worn when feeding the chipper. Only when using a chainsaw on the ground. Period.
And poisoning ALL affected soils with antibiotics excreted by cattle and other livestock. For at least 1,000 years. Which is the half life of charcoal/biochar! Correct?
Biochar is just charcoal activated charcoal needs something done to it (not 100% sure) to make it activated charcoal like you'd get at a pharmacy. Activated biochar I believe means it was put into waste/compost system to capture nutrients to be applied later.
due to the risks of pesticides in commercial biochar unless you create your own you are taking quite a risk feeding it livestock or spreading it on land. similarly, commercially available compost has pesticides that can deform plant production. overall I think the biochar "market" is waste management being pushed onto the uneducated for a profit or to offset the costs of dealing with ag waste.
Make biochar from corn cobs and feed that to the cattle. That way you can get a local source and reduce the waste generated on local farms. I hope more research has been done.
My dad was making it during the 40s, in Canada,his dad made it in Austria pre WW1, my dad burnt and repurposed maple, softwood slabs from his small sawmill, after he couldn't sell the sawdust, slabs any longer, he built the mill to get slabs for heat source to burn limestone for lime. WW2 times he could sell the waste, for home heating, that was more profitable than lime. We played in the kiln, and the char pit as kids, heard lots of stories, and visited friends as kids, and ate veggies out of crazy black soil gardens 10-15 years after it was applied. It sure has been part of my gardening for 40+ years, 4 locations.
In my area we used to be able to burn anything. Then that changed and couldn’t burn leaves. Then we couldn’t burn after 4 pm. Now we can’t burn anything. So now I make biochar a gallon at a time in my fireplace. Until they outlaw fireplaces………
Putting raw biochar into your soil will rob it of nitrogen and other nutrients for a few years unless it's charged. Now, I like your idea of filtering the algae with the charcoal to charge it. It will add nutrients similar to sea kelp.
They are using biochar in WRONG way! Biochar after mixing with DUNG you should PUT in to the soil. In 1 to 9 ratio. Then biochar can turn in to bacteria and fungi home: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Czs3kI8Rk4.html - bamboo biochar (hill+mycorrhiza) effect is eternal fertility since soil do not require any fertilizer, result: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p0YNFn9Dloc.html - biochar power (beans and two farmers) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XQxthabe_OU.html - 2fold (old image from USA past) P.S. That cattle should be INSIDE the building where dung can build-up.
This is very interesting. Is the biochar activated/inoculated with nutrients before being fed to the cattle? From my understanding, if biochar is put into the soil without being activated it robs nutrients from the soil. Just wondering if it affects cattle in the same way.
Biochar is activated by soaking up liquids and solids like manure and cattle urine and it holds those nutrients because they are VERY poures like a sponge and when you add it to your fields or pasture.
