Biochar is a stable form of carbon with INCREDIBLE porosity. This porosity creates fantastic water retention.
In this demonstration we fill one pint glass with high quality GO Biochar brand biochar (60 grams at 10% moisture content). In the other, 350 ml of water (aka, full cup). Will it fit?? You bet!
Biochar is the carbonized skeletal structure of biomass. Think of it as high-end condos for all those beneficial microbes and bacteria. Having a positive charge with plenty of nooks and crannies, nutrients to bond with the biochar and then slowly release. Think long term fertilization since biochar prevents leaching.
Our char is made from responsibly reclaimed Utah pine and processed in our pyrolyzer. This gives us a high quality char with about 87% organic carbon, 6.5% ash, just under 1% nitrogen and a pH a little over 9. Soil literally LOVES this stuff. Plants really love it even more! When you put it in the ground it becomes a semi-permanent soil addendum lasting thousands of years.
While we can ship nation-wide, we much strive to be carbon responsible and prefer to transport to locations in Utah or surrounding states.
