Biochar

A powerful natural carbon storehouse to improve our soils significantly. Biochar is charcoal or high-carbon, the fine-grained residue produced via pyrolysis. Biochar is used as a soil conditioner and fed to animals. It is stable, solid, rich in carbon, and can abide in soil for thousands of years. It promotes good soil and plant health, improve yield of plants, enhance water quality, and lower soil emissions of greenhouse gases. These are only a few of the benefits of biochar.

To use as a soil conditioner you will need to ACTIVATE YOUR BIOCHAR with microbes. BOS Life Concentrate is an excellent inoculant as are your own compost teas.

Some of the key benefits of using Biochar as a fertiliser include significantly reducing run-off by increasing moisture retention, improving the efficiency of nitrogen use by plants resulting in increased yields and providing microbial housing in the soil. Broad scale, use activated Biochar at 1t/Ha (or 1kg/m2) incorporating into soil where possible. Application efficiency can be achieved in row crops by concentrating in the root zone. Can also be added to livestock feed and mineral mixes. Click here for more info.

Our biochar is made from sustainably sourced hard Australian timber or shell and is suitable for livestock supplement, garden, crops, pasture and orchard use. Available in course or fine grades.
