Research confirms biochar benefits

Research is now confirming biochar benefits include:

• Reduced leaching of nitrogen into ground water
• Possible reduced emissions of nitrous oxide
• Increased cation-exchange capacity resulting in improved soil fertility
• Moderating of soil acidity
• Increased water retention
• Increased number of beneficial soil microbes

That’s science talk for Better Soil. Better Gardens. Better World!
