Our work has a direct positive impact on the climate, drawing down and storing Carbon.
We do this by selling biochar, a carbon based soil improver, that saves gardeners and professional growers time and money, whilst sequestering carbon from the atmosphere. If your interested in buying some biochar or you want to learn more then please email me at lottie@agileplanet.co.ukHow does it work?
Biochar is a soil enhancer which can increase plant health by 20% in good quality soils and up to 200% in poor quality soil. This is due to its extreme porosity absorbing nutrients, water and microbes, helping your plants to flourish and bloom!
Using organic Biochar will increase nutrient retention in your garden soil.
Reversing Climate Change
Biochar made from waste wood is carbon negative. It is the most effective and affordable way to capture and store carbon in the soil to help reverse climate change (IPCC Report).
Helps the environment by using unwanted wood and reducing CO2 emissions.
Reduce your carbon footprint!
When you use 10 kg of Biochar you are preventing 33 kg of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. This is the same as the CO2 emissions from 170 miles of driving!
