What is biochar?
Biochar is the name given to a special type of high temperature charcoal that is mixed into compost to provide compelling, long term benefits to soil health. Biochar is extremely porous making it excellent at retaining water and nutrients. It's pores become an apartment building for microbes, allowing them to prosper in a symbiotic relationship with plants.
Carbon Negative
Biochar is fixed carbon meaning it will not turn back into CO2. Making biochar from surplus wood stops the wood from entering landfill where it decays and releases methane and CO2. If we scaled biochar globally we would sequester 3 billion tonnes of CO2 by 2050.
Tested on 4000 plants
We mixed our biochar into an award winning plant nursery's compost, speeding up their plants by a week! We increased above ground growth by 30% and saved on water and fertiliser! Check out the difference in root growth!
