How To Make Biochar In A Pit | A Simple Method 

Your videos are short, concise, informative and to the point. This type of production will help your channel grow. Including any failures in your videos is also a bonus as we learn more from our failures, then our successes. Well done.

Just watched your video a few days ago...and I just want to say thank you for saving the hassle of buying a 55gal and 30 gal barrel. Dug a pit..I put both wood and bone in..followed the steps..and AWESOME CHAR! Thank you for correct advice. Peace & plenty

I’ve found that stacking a large pile and burning top to bottom works just as well and you don’t have to worry about digging a pit.. I put my charcoal in my chicken coop deep litter bed. It acts as an odor neutralizer and gets inoculated at the same time..

This is how I make Biochar as well. Simple and practical. Why do people want to over complicate it? Haha great content

wow the best how to so far thanks for a great video !

Do more videos please, this is great channel with great projects. Regards from Šibenik (Dalmatia), Croatia.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Love the chickens that are watching you at the end of the video :-)

Thank you for posting .

Great information!

Wonderful

Dude did you just lick the biochar lol. New sub for that alone haha. Respect and thanks for informative video

That chicken in the beginning sounds like it’s having the laugh of its life.🤣

Great stuff and great channel! Do you live on the farm or is it more like a hobby?

Thank you so very much for this video and for simplifying the process for me 🤗 The more videos I watched, the more complicated it was becoming 🥴 Yours is, by far, the simplest method I've seen 👍 so thank you for that! ❤ When it was time to douse the charcoals, I'm not sure if you used the pond water because it was readily available or specifically because it's nutrient rich. I'm thinking that's just an added bonus? So what are your thoughts regarding using compost tea to douse the fire? I don't have a pond but I do have a thriving worm farm and it wouldn't be much of an effort to make tea from the castings to use to douse the fire... Is this a great idea or not necessary? 🤔 Would this serve to inoculate the biochar at the same time or would it still need a separate step of inoculating?

I only have a very small garden, so my pit would be rather close to my flowers and vegetables. Safe enough distance for the fire. I read that the undiluted „flood water“ is extremely alkaline? Did you notice any damage to the soil and plants around such pits?

I like making Bamboo Leaves, Leaves, Twigs, and Pine Needles as my Biochar Material. I cook them in used aluminum cans and let them cool inside. No need watering, just add with eggshells, compost or dried manure or JADAM liquid. Or even none at all. No need grinding too with this materials, any light materials. Also if youve got diseased plants, you might want to consider using them as material. Kill the disease, use the matter for biochar

What is the name of this method

How the urban home owner can make biochar. 1) Buy a farm 2) go make your biochar

sad you cant harvest the energy.

That is not bio char but rather charcoal which is not the same thing🤔
