What Is Biochar and What Are Its Benefits?
I've been intrigued by the possibilities of biochar as a soil amendment for quite some time. Despite my interest, however, I had never used it in our garden -- in part because I wanted to learn to make my own biochar and just hadn't gotten around to doing it.
But with winter approaching and less work to do in the garden, I decided now would be a good time to learn. I did some reading and watched a number of YouTube videos, but I learn best by doing, so I decided to jump right in and make a simple biochar stove and some test batches of biochar.
At this point, I haven't worked out all the kinks, but I am producing some decent biochar as I test out the stove, and I'm already putting it to use in the garden. So, I thought today I'd just talk about the benefits of biochar, and once I get all the kinks worked out in the stove, I'll make another video featuring the stove and how I use it to make biochar.
