What is Biochar?
Biochar is a powerful, ancient soil amendment that has been rediscovered as a key tool in modern agriculture. Unlike typical organic manures, it acts as a long-lasting soil conditioner, transforming soil health and boosting productivity.
Originally, its use dates back to the Amazon Basin, where indigenous peoples developed methods that created the biochar we use today. Thanks to its porous carbon structure, biochar improves both nutrient and water retention in the soil.
