BioChar is a product of heating wood or other organic biomass under extremely high oxygen-free temperatures. Instead of incineration the chemical structure of the biomass transforms through pyrolysis and becomes what we call biochar - a microscopically porous carbon-heavy material that when incorporated into the root zone of our plants in the soil becomes a long-term carbon bank and home for beneficial microorganisms, mycorrhizal fungi, soil moisture, and water-soluble nutrients.
►► My current favorite biochar (updated for 2023) is Soil Mastery which adds mild fertilizer into the mix along with humic acid and kelp. It's available here: shrsl.com/460n6 ◄◄
We want biochar in the soil to sequester carbon from the atmosphere and to condition the soil to hold nutrients and water more efficiently while allowing for a greater community of soil organisms to live and benefit our plants, gardens, and lawns.
In this video I don't explain how any of this works or say what product is best I only experimented with the spreading and physical comparison of five different biochars on the market today.
► You can read more about biochar over on my website where I am currently expanding my content base on the product line as well as uses for it. You can see my main page for biochar here: turfmechanic.com/biochar/
In the video I recommended my viewers to give a close look at a book that I've now read two times. The book is called "Cows Save The Planet" and it's all about soil biology and building soil health for the betterment of our farms, gardens, and lawns and for the greater benefit of the planet itself.
► Seriously cool book that also touches on biochar in addition to lots of other deep stuff; check it out through this Amazon affiliate link: www.amazon.com/Cows-Save-Plan...
