In this video I will show you one of the greatest things you can do for your soil and that is to add biochar that has been supercharged with nutrients and microbial life!!.. Biochar is a pure carbon source that does not degrade further in the soil and so it persists for hundreds if not thousands of years, providing a home for billions of microorganisms all the while!

Great video,thanks. I'm 77 and not in the shape I was 40 years ago. About 5 years ago I started making charcoal, running it through a wood chipper and adding to my compost pile. it's a passive pile and takes about 2 years to finish. I have 6 of these. They are 42 x 42 inch wood pallet bins. If want to speed up the biocharge I make aerated compost tea that I let run for five days, adding 2 tablespoons of molasses everyday till done. Add the charcoal on the third day. On the fourth day the tea has approximately 6 million critters per spoonful.That's by microscopic count. Had to find a way around all that shovel work. Huge difference in the garden.

I spent the winter making biochar in pyrolizing stove (made from a clean one gallon paint can in a sap bucket with a 4" stack 3 feet high). Small batches. Takes some experimentation to get things right, but it can burn with almost no smoke. Even if you have neighbors around it is doable. I live in a "right to farm community," whatever that means, so people here are a little more relaxed about what you do on your property when it's burning, composting, keeping livestock, etc. Anyway, lots of ideas online for building one of these stoves. This practice sequesters carbon, too, people!

@gardenlikeaviking Год назад

thats interesting because the only way I've done it before is in a large 55gal steel drum and we had to start a large fire each time and then smother it out so there's no way I could do that where I'm currently at

@@gardenlikeaviking, I have heavy clay in many areas of the property and will pile sticks that are finger to wrist sized vertically in a pyramid very close together until it's about 3' wide and 2' tall and cover it with damp, workable clay. I make around 7 holes around the perimeter at the bottom and one on the top of the pile. I will ignite the 7 bottom holes, and when I can see the fire in the top hole I plug all the holes with clay. Open it up the next day and, poof, charcoal, and a scorched area ready for planting after amendments.

Hello Nate, Yes absolutely use Bio Char in your soil. I have 24 raised beds and have been adding Biochar into my beds for the last three years. Works wonders with my Sandy Florida soil. Leave mold, compost, Biochar and your teachings about using the JDAM system. The combination works wonders for my sand box soil. Thanks for helping us Organic Gardeners.

@AlvinKazu 11 месяцев назад

Do you mix your biochar into your soil or just on the top layer? I've heard about mixing it in, so I'm unsure about just putting it on top, with regards to containers/raised-beds/pots/etc.

@williamodell8634 11 месяцев назад

@@AlvinKazu I mix all of mine into the soil or add a layer to the surface and then cover with 2 inches of compost. It’s not really helpful to leave on top of the surface as the exposure to the sun can be harmful to the microbes you worked so hard to grow and nurture. This is from my experience with Biochar.

Thank you for sharing this. I began making Biochar after stumbling across an academic research article about the Amazonian dark earth (Biochar) from over 1000 years ago and how those regions are still amazingly fertile and becoming even more fertile each year. Amazing how nature can turn what initially is a total destruction by fire into an ever-present source of life.

@michaelsekalala8041 Год назад

Indeed God is great

@chrismartin7579 Год назад

Two thoughts. First, making charcoal for biochar is relatively easy with the TLUD approach. Oxygen starved, the Top Lit Up Draft method keeps the carbon from oxidizing into CO2. I sent a sample to the NC state lab and using hardwoods as a base material, the charcoal I produced was 97%+ pure carbon, ~2% Calcium, and the rest trace minerals. I burn in 55 gallon drums and after a dozen burns I had, literally, a drum full of charcoal. Second, the I make the particle size small. Small means more surface area and better bio-activation. I've used a mid-sized screen in a small hammermill but pounding with a 4x4 post works too. My activation material is contents from a Johnson Su Bioreactor and 2 YO leaf mulch.

@norseman9367 Год назад

I wondered when you were going to get around to covering biochar, and I am glad you did. I first read about this about 20 years ago in the wonderful Acres USA eco-agricultural publication in an article about terra preta. That is Portuguese for dark earth. Ancient Amazonian civilizations made highly fertile soils in the Amazon basin, and if you have ever been in the tropics and seen the soils you would know that can be a challenge. They also utilized unfired pottery sherds for the clay minerals and to act as a type of perlite. I use leftover charcoal from my fruit and nut trees used in the grill, which goes through the chipper with other green waste and gets added to compost piles. I add kitchen waste, manure from horse, burro and llama, as well as urine, then hot compost it. I have been doing this for many years and have built amazing soils. I am now using the JADAM preparations as well. Outstanding work you are doing my friend, keep it coming!

@ancesthntr Год назад

@Nate: The more of your videos that I watch, the more I appreciate the amazing experience and knowledge base that you have, as well as your genuine concern for everybody else trying to grow a garden. Tough times are either here or coming, and we as a nation are going to have to do a lot of what the World War II generation did in terms of producing our own food. The problem is that most people really don’t know how, and just think that if they dump a bunch of fertilizer in their garden that they buy at a big box store, that’s good enough. Thanks to you, we all know better. All of us should spread our own knowledge to family, friends and neighbors, including telling them about this channel. Rather than using urine for nitrogen (not that there’s anything wrong with that) another fantastic and free source is used coffee grounds that you can get for free from your local coffee shop. That is obviously in addition to whatever coffee grounds someone may have from their own brewing, though that is usually a very small quantity in comparison. Most of the acidity is removed during the brewing process, so you are left with something that is chock-full of nitrogen. Another good thing about coffee grounds is that they are roughly a 50-50 mix of carbon and nitrogen, so it is a good addition to a composting pile. You don’t have to worry that much about the ratio between greens and browns if you have a lot of coffee grounds.

They found evidence that the amazon basin was at one point heavily populated despite the ph of the soil. They found ample proof that they used exactly this technique for enriching the soil, on experimentation theysaw an increase of around 100 heads of wheat in a square yard/meter to 600 heads aftyer the act of charcolizing the soil.

@ForestToFarm Год назад

@@BigWesLawns I think the “higher carbon content “ would possibly indicate that the wood was more fully processed than other brands, maybe ha ha. I am sure a piece of wood does not go from wood to carbon instantly so to get it to complete carbon would surely take longer and more fuel than if you stopped processing when it reached an acceptable or usable level of carbon. Just a hunch but I could be wrong.

@BigWesLawns Год назад

@@ForestToFarm yeah buddy, I think your correct. I found a few pieces of uncooked chunks. Tossed those aside for composter. Biochar makers most definitely take more care to make sure its cooking evenly and gassing off. They load the chamber correctly and have the densities and timing/temperature stuff all mathematic'd out. Probably worth what it costs to a non DIY type who just wants to buy it and add it. They could do worse I suppose right? I want to support folks like that, but cash is the limiter on getting things going now, so I may buy some down the road and chek it out.

After watching maybe 15 of your vids, I kept asking myself if you knew about biochar. OMG how fantastic! I just made almost an entire 55 gal barrel of biochar yesterday and the day before. It's crude and I used old wood pallets. Then I used a magnet to get all the nails out, then I used a round shovel to smash the pieces using a 55-gallon barrel that I had cut in half lengthwise. I was able to see what I had and get rid of rocks and other debris that I noticed. It was a crude way to make biochar and it was my first time after watching tons of vids. I have an area on my little 1/3 acre that I had carved out what was gonna be a pond but it's been so dry in the Texas Hill Country that it was dry as a bone and cone shaped. I got 4 small goats that love that space. My chickens and goats were thrilled to have me out there. I've been in a SUPER depressed state and trying everything to increase my vibrational energy. Gosh, your vids are incredibly helpful. Gonna start looking for your live shows cause you really are helping me stay alive. I started to watch your last live vid and I love how you answered someone's question - how to help others lift their energy. You used the two logs example. One is burning brightly, the other is smoldering. I told my husband of 41 years that luckily for me he has been the burning log stoking my smoldering log. Kind of sounds a little kinky now that I put it in writing. LOL From the bottom of my heart I wanna thank you for what you do. If you're helping me, I just KNOW you're helping others.

I am an avid viewer of gardening videos and YT just finally suggested your channel to me, I think I've watched 3 videos so far, but man! The info on those alone is amazing.

Thank you Nate. I leaned a new 55 gallon drum at a 45 ish degree. It made perfect size charcoal from tree branches. You helped me tremendously. Hopefully this will help you or someone else in the viking tribe.

Yesterday I was thrilled to find the exact bag of charcoal at my local store! Off to make some super charged biochar! Today I found some biochar on my walk and I collected an ice cream pail full of it. So exciting!

I make biochar using softwood as thats all we have in Montana. After I make the charcoal, I charge it in my compost pile, chicken coop, and use it in my barn for bedding with the goats and pigs. I spread a lot of mine on my fields with my manure spreader. I just found your channel, so I haven't had the opportunity to make all the fertilizers and urea yet.

Listened to Albert Bates lecture on biochar several years ago. Be careful if you try to buy biochar. I did and added it to my new garden and after suboptimal production I inquired about what/how that inoculated the char with the microbe biology. Turns out they were selling char as biochar and that was the reason for poor garden performance. Caveat emptor! Will be making my own this winter.

Hi Nate! I'm late to this one as I'm catching up after subbing to you... Just thought I'd add a comment. I cut down and dug out some big wild rose bushes next to my patch during the winter. I left the branches and roots where they fell and last month cut them into foot long lengths and used them to make charcoal. The burn went well and after dousing, I let the char sit in water overnight. The next day I added rice bran (brown), chicken manure and 2L of urine (green). After letting it sit for a week I then added it to two 1.2 cubic meter piles of compost that were bubbling away at about 68C (154F). This compost will be used to make no dig beds in the fall. So excited to convert to no dig and garden/farm more naturally. Thanks for all the info you provide in your videos. All the best my friend ☺

I made some homemade biochar with pure charcoal from the grocery store. (Don't need enough to warrant making my own charcoal.) Broke up the super big chunks and inoculated it with a soup of fish emulsion and worm castings. Buried the biochar in the bottom of the grow bags I am using for sweet potatoes. Will make more and bury the pieces in my raised beds.

@gardenlikeaviking Год назад

thats a great idea to bury it at the bottom of the sweet potato bag the roots will reach down there and love the nutrients!. thank you for sharing!
