Leeds Coppice Workers are currently selling biochar at £7 for a 25 litre bag for soil improvement. Discounts are available for bulk orders of 10+ bags and 20+ bags.
Biochar is a carbon-rich product, created by the slow burning of plant material with little or no oxygen.
Biochar helps raise crop yields and reduces the need for fertilisers; and as it is a very stable substance, the carbon it contains is locked away for thousands of years. As that carbon had been absorbed from the atmosphere as the plants grew, what we have is a net removal of carbon from the atmosphere and storage in soil.
Biochar is most effective when ‘charged’. This is simply when it is mixed with a compost for at least a month so that it takes on additional nutrients and is able to release them into the soil more slowly than if the compost were unaltered.
As with all our products you are you helping support the productive use of all parts of the tree within a woodland management context, whereby waste wood is converted to barbequeue charcoal and waste charcoal fines then become biochar.
