I needed to crush four bags of Royal Oak Lump Charcoal into fine pieces that could be used to make Biochar for adding to the raised garden beds. I have tried many different ways in the past, but all of them were very time consuming with less than desirable results. This time I decided to experiment using my DK2 wood chipper to shred the bigger chunks of charcoal into fine pieces, and it worked better than expected. I had to create a tube made out of plastic sheets to catch the charcoal chips that were thrown out of the chute, and catch them in a bag inside of a trash can. It made a lot of dust, but it did create the finely chopped charcoal that will be easily worked into the garden soil once it is activated as Biochar.
At the end of the video, I start activating some of the freshly shredded charcoal to turn it into Biochar.
