Benefits:
- Carbon Sequestration: Biochar helps by improving soil health and reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers; biochar can even help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It also stores carbon in the soil, helping to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and mitigate climate change.
- Enhanced Water Retention: Biochar acts like a sponge, increasing the soil's ability to hold water, which is crucial for plant growth, especially in arid or drought-prone areas.
- Increased Microbial Activity: Biochar provides a habitat and food source for beneficial soil microorganisms, which play a vital role in nutrient cycling and plant health.
- Improved Soil Structure: Biochar's porous structure enhances soil aeration and drainage, making it easier for roots to grow and water to circulate.
- Nutrient Retention: Biochar helps retain essential nutrients in the soil, reducing nutrient leaching and runoff, which can pollute waterways.
- Increased Crop Yields: By improving soil health and nutrient availability, biochar can lead to increased crop yields and improved plant quality.
- Remediation of contaminated Soils: Biochar can adsorb heavy metals and other pollutants, helping to remediate contaminated soils.
How to use:
Add a tablespoon full to a 3-litre plant pot and mix into the compost or soil (adjust accordingly for smaller or larger pots).
Safety:
- Do not eat
- Keep out of reach of children and vulnerable adults
- Wear gloves when handling (it can also get messy!)
