Biochar

from £10.70

Biochar is an organic, eco-friendly soil enhancer that increases fertility, retains water and captures carbon for thousands of years. Sustainably made from managed forests, it’s the perfect way to boost your garden while protecting the planet. 

Grand total

Biochar is a revolutionary ground enhancer with ancient roots. By slowly combusting organic waste with little to no oxygen (a process called pyrolysis), we create a soil additive that not only boosts crop yields and improves soil fertility but also captures and stores carbon for thousands of years.  

Add about 10% to you compost and you will have hugely improved crops, flowers and shrubs (If you add a littleMycorrhizawhen you plant as well, you’ll be astounded at the results).   

That’s not the only amazing thing about the by-product Biochar, though. For every 5 kilograms of Biochar used will capture 4 kilograms of Carbon a year, for (probably) thousands of years.  

This incredible material enhances compost, increases soil water retention, reduces harmful pesticide effects and suppresses greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide.  

It’s entirely organic, made from waste sourced from sustainably managed forests, has a “Grown in Britain” certification and a full annual audit of the ‘chain of custody’ from the forest to your bag of Biochar. 

Our production process is environmentally friendly too, using volatile off-gasses as fuel to avoid harmful emissions.  

Add Biochar to your garden, mix it with Mycorrhiza, and experience the incredible benefits while contributing to a more sustainable planet. 

Amount/Dosage  Ingredient  Description 
Variable  Biochar  A charcoal-like substance created through pyrolysis, used to improve soil structure and fertility 
Variable  Organic Matter (Wood)  Sourced from sustainably managed forests to create a natural soil enhancer 
Variable  Carbon (Captured)  Biochar captures 80% of its weight in carbon, helping reduce CO2 in the atmosphere 
Variable  Trace Minerals  Biochar contains minerals beneficial for plant growth and soil health 
Variable  Low Ash Content  Ensures the biochar is effective and does not contain harmful contaminants 

Biochar helps improve soil fertility, retains moisture, and contributes to carbon capture, making it an eco-friendly addition to gardening. 

  • Mix with soil at a ratio of 1:10 to improve structure and fertility. 
  • Add to compost to enhance its nutrient profile and microbial activity. 
  • Use as a top dressing around plants to retain moisture and boost soil health. 
  • Incorporate into seed-starting mix for healthier and more robust seedlings. 
  • Apply as mulch to reduce water loss and maintain soil temperature. 
  • Blend with organic fertilisers to maximize nutrient absorption and efficiency. 

For best results, charge the biochar with compost or organic fertiliser before application.
