Nonsense Rascal
I ran around trying to gather some folks for this conversation, I hope you found yourself here with an open heart and mind.
In order to Truly put the BioChar BS to rest, I ask that you report findings and opinions, ONLY if coupled with the other pertinent information. Your Fertilizer and Regimen. If you are certain your BioChar was properly and remains inoculated. Your "cides" and Regimen.
Brush up on these 3 threads to continue those conversations.

This is a rather long series but worth the information. They speak about how BioChar manufacturing facilities can't really be profitable without being local. This means corners are being cut on shipped product.
This Feller, Steve Irwin meets Val Kilmer, shows some good innoculations.
Reckon this Feller works at the facility from the first series. This stuff is basically free.
Anyway I have a sneaking suspicion that the Bag of stuff from Wakefield is dead unless it has airholes.
Reckon @bonhe finds success due to wholly organic other methods, where some folks may not due to things killing microbes.
Simply, this "technology" is so old we've completely forgotten and rediscovered it. Though I believe those ancient civilizations were way smarter than us, well no, Because those ancient civilizations we're so much smarter than us, they didn't need to create Earth Destroying chemicals in the first place.
That said.....
It isn't possible to find success with it if we don't believe "miracle grow" isn't poison. Let alone all the other stuff damaging our growing medium.
Fake works, but it causes so many problems it is unsustainable. We should give a shit about the generations who will continue to care for our trees. Or do we not believe they are good enough?
Saw a clip in this one video about how a farmer was trying to change soil pH every year with some tons of lime.
It was balanced permanently with Compost.
I believe it was Dr. Elaine Ingram I heard speaking of how a proper compost allows for the fluctuation of pH as pertains to the required pH of the things required by the plant at that time.
I didn't know it at the time I was talking shit about how pH doesn't matter. Seems it only matters when you're being consumed by the monster which is the out of balance system chemicals create.
The pH then, of a properly innoculated BioChar, should fluctuate between this proper balance because it is full of life.
But is yours full of life?
I like the "cascade" use of the product.
Mine is kinda going....
Rain barrel intake, Chicken Bedding, Compost, Soil for growing.
Trying to find better ways to use more heat off this kiln too. Firing BioChar with my chimney heat.
I was thinking about tumbling it to good particle rounds, but shit, that olive stone is a good Idea.
Char the Chickpeas. Done.
Perhaps this is a product I should get on the Website.

has anyone used biochar?
Hi I'm new to the forum, I've been collecting yamadori and styling for just over a year now and I'm wanting to start producing my own medium, as part of my work I make artist charcoal and the seconds of them I crush down ready to be mixed wiþ some organic matter...I'm think worm casts might be a...
Japanese Maple Biochar Trial
I like the deep black of Biochar as a substrate, but it has some drawbacks from a chemical standpoint. 1. Crazy high CEC 2. It emits ethylene if un-aged. 3. High pH But do these drawbacks matter when it comes to Japanese maples? I planted four sapling Japanese Maples I acquired from a nursery...
Biochar - time to test or give it a rest? Trials
For the past four years I’ve been sporadically researching Biochar as a beneficial media amendment and searching for a product that would be usual le as a bonsai media amendment. There are a plethora of scientific studies researching the effectiveness of Biochar as a soil amendment. At the...
