Biochar - helping trees stand strong when every carbon capturing leaf counts

[the village idiot]

I am no biochar expert, I am just enthused by its possibilities. I have been tracking it's development over the past couple of years. There is a mind boggling array of scientific papers focusing on the nutrient holding capabilities of biochar. Many of them are published by the UKBRC and the International Biochar Initiative.

I hear you on the British Biochar Foundation. They are definitely a breath of fresh air, although not quite as devoid of knowledge as has been suggested in an earlier post. I am a member of the BBF, we had a very inspiring conference earlier this year. If you have any doubts about the potential benefits of the black stuff watch the videos of the guest speakers (on the BBF website) If you only have time for one then watch Hans Peter Schmidt. He's a bit slow to get going, but by the end you will be biochar convert.
