Nutrient-enriched biochar locally sourced from just several miles away.
Retain moisture and nutrients for good rooting and plant growth.
Biochar is soils’ best friend because of its physical and chemical nature. Its immense surface area provides a habitat for beneficial soil micro-organisms and fungi.
Biochar also has a unique ability for attracting and holding moisture and nutrients.
Our experience
Our biochar is inoculated with our natural plant feed. Biochar can be incorporated into borders, potting mediums or planting hole infills, ideally in spring. The biochar could be held in the soil for hundreds of years.
We source the charcoal pieces from a local woodland manager who is regenerating post-war plantation woodland, planting hazel and sweet chestnut. They pyrolise (low-oxygen burning) wood in kilns producing a high quality, low-emissions charcoal.
We crush and screen the charcoal before soaking in rainwater and inoculating with our own natural plant feed.
Using biochar
We add biochar into our potting mix and found that 20-40% shows great results on the health of the plants.
Biochar is biologically inoculated charcoal. We use charcoal from a small woodland in Alderwasley. We then add natural plant feed and ferment for at least a week.
Biochar is good to add to your potting mix or garden beds. We use it! In trials, we saw a 50% increase in seedling size versus potting compost without biochar. Biochar can help to retain moisture and nutrients. It’s known to persist in the soil for hundreds of years.
Available from us loose by the litre. Our biochar is locally sourced and is inoculated with nettle & comfrey tea.
