Key Information:
What is Biochar? Biochar is a high carbon form of charcoal. It is 100% peat free and is used as a soil amendment or improver. It is also Soil Association Approved for organic growing and a FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Certified product. The earliest known use of Biochar was over 2000 years by the pre-Columbian indigenous people of the Amazon. Biochar is the new oldest thing around!
How is Biochar made? Biochar is produced as a high carbon form of charcoal by heating organic matter at very high temperatures without oxygen, in a process called Pyrolysis. It does not degrade and gives a permanent improvement to your soil.
How does Biochar help my soil? Carbon Gold's enriched Biochar brings a physical and permanent change to the soil, it improves soil structure as well as aeration, nutrient and water retention. Biochar has a honeycomb structure that acts a refuge for the added beneficial microbiology added by Carbon Gold. This means that Biochar does not get leached by rainfall and remains available to the soil. Even in periods of drought Biochar helps with water retention meaning you do not have to water as often as you would without the addition of Biochar. Carbon Gold's Biochar is enriched with mycorrhizal fungi, trace minerals and beneficial bacteria.
What is Biochars environmental impact? Biochar permanently locks carbon into the ground rather than releasing harmful CO2 into the atmosphere. Producing Biochar is also known as a carbon negative process. Biochar is good for your garden and good for our planet!
