I'm not really one for letting things go to waste in our household... and that includes all the ash and charcoal that is produced from our woodstove or fireplace for heating the home in Winter. Cleaning out the fireplace is a job I actually really look forward to - because I can make some really useful fertiliser for the garden!
In today's video I show you a really simple method to make biochar (activated charcoal). This method is no fuss where you don't need any fancy set up or equipment (although I admit I am interested in making larger quantities using a different set up eventually...).
Biochar is a wonderful addition to garden beds or compost (the worms LOVE it!) as it acts as a slow release fertiliser, while also storing carbon in the soil. So you're not only doing your plants good, but the planet too by making biochar!

Hey there!

Welcome to my channel, The Nature Patch where I like to share all things gardening, cooking and environmental science in my Australian bushland backyard.

My name is Robyn, an environmental scientist working towards completing a PhD in understanding how people's wellbeing and their connection to nature is impacted by land use change. I've always loved gardening and nature and lately have been interested in growing my own organic food!

On this channel you'll find videos relating to garden tours, 'how to' videos, composting, soil health, ecosystem services, and seed saving.

I try to upload twice a week and I hope you enjoy!!

🤎 Filmed and edited on Jagera country. I acknowledge and pay respects to Traditional Owners of the land past, present and emerging. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
