We have just bagged up our first lot of biochar ready for Wivey Farmer’sMarket.
Biochar is high quality charcoal that has been finely ground.
We make it in our ring kilns, and it is produced in the same way as our barbecue charcoal, from wood produced as a result of sustainable woodland management.
It can be added to compost or any growing medium or dug into the soil at a depth of 30cm to improve the quality of the soil, therefore increasing crop yields.
Biochar traps carbon for thousands of years.
It has a molecular structure that retains moisture and nutrients, which are then slowly released into the soil.
It is completely organic, and made from renewable sources, providing a great replacement for peat based composts, and 100% organic.

I’m trying the biochar. Just seen some peas in modules – some with biochar and composer and some just compost. It’s a race to see which are earlier and better! (Inside of course)
