Biochar by Silvachar
Adding biochar activates the composting process by enhancing the activity of microorganisms, which raises the temperature, reduces composting time and speeds up stabilization of the compost.
Research indicates that incorporating 5-20% biochar into compost enhances microbial diversity and activity, leading to improved decomposition and nutrient cycling.
When added to compost piles, (biochar) can improve the composting process by helping to retain moisture and nutrients and providing a habitat for compost-friendly microbes.
Biochar also helps absorb and reduce the smell in your indoor compost bin and in chicken coops and other animal bedding.
Biochar is powerful tool in our fight against climate change.
When integrated into composting, it not only
enhances soil fertility
but also sequesters carbon,
turning our waste into a valuable resource.
Composting food scraps and other organics is becoming more important these days. Landfills are filling up and creating methane, a harmful greenhouse gasses (GHGs). It’s also getting more expensive to truck the material around due to gas prices, so
reducing our organic waste at
home is not only reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs),
it also gives us a nourishing garden amendment
that will support our food and flower crops each year.
