- Increased storage of nutrients over regular organic matter
- Increased nutritional value & quality of fruits and vegetables
- Improved buffering of soil pH and stability
- Increased diversity of soil bio-organisms
- Improved and denser root development
- Reduction of Fertilizer, especially nitrogen and phosphorus
- Reducing overall fertilizer and water requirements by 50%
- Reducing nitric oxide emissions by 50-80%
How much biochar will I need
For small garden beds use 2-5% Biochar per volume of soil. For large acreage coverage, the average amount of Biochar to be used is 4 cubic yards per acre.
