BIOCHAR 8 x 3.79l Best Organic Soil Booster

Description

It is made from biomass via pyrolysis and has a huge potential for helping mitigate climate change. Carbon present in biochar resists degradation and can store carbon in soils for hundreds, or even thousands of years. Why use biochar? The answer is simple. It offers multiple benefits to your garden and the climate. First of all, biochar boosts soil fertility and saves litres of water. It has been established that it changes soil acidity by increasing its pH, as a result of which microorganisms can start their colonies and encourage plant growth. Additionally, this pyrolysis by-product can be an important tool to increase cropland diversity in areas with severely depleted soils. It also improves the quality of water and decreases the amount of retaining agrochemicals and metals. As biochar traps moisture, more nutrients stay in the soil instead of leaching into groundwater and causing pollution. Moreover, it is potentially reducing growth of greenhouse gas levels and, therefore, has a huge impact on climate change. But… did you know that it has more to offer than just fertilizing the soil? Biochar is suitable for the production of energy as it can be used in any coal-based application. Being highly hygroscopic, it also acts as a water retention agent. Thanks to its porous structure and ability to attract and retain water, it is a highly desirable soil amendment. In practice, this means that all nutrients, phosphorus and agrochemicals are retained to a plant’s benefit. With biochar your crops as well as Mother Nature will be healthier as much less fertilizer will leach into the surface or groundwater. This natural soil amendment is also believed to prevent reforestation and reduce climate change. Last but not least, biomass production aimed at obtaining biochar is a carbon-negative process, which means that more CO 2 is removed from the atmosphere than released. Application Rate: at a ratio of 1:5 or 1:10
