On this beautiful day at New Roots Farm, Daniel Garcia demonstrates a small scale version of the Conservation Ag Burn to produce biochar from local “waste” materials. This top - down burn method as opposed to the conventional fire lit from the bottom – up greatly limits the smoke produced during the process and is extremely budget friendly. Elements in this demonstration include choosing appropriately sized materials, constructing the fire, when to put it out for optimal char production, and inoculating the charcoal.

Be sure to look out for the minimal amount of smoke emitted during this demonstration and of course enjoy!
