Bob Lerner perfectly presents the unique position biochar has in the soil to support a balanced, natural structure that allows plant life to flourish.

Biochar, the eco-warrior of the soil, not only locks away carbon but also enriches the earth's fertility, all while curbing harmful greenhouse gases.

This study revealed that high-surface-area biochar, such as walnut shell, enhanced water retention in sandy soils, particularly at higher application rates, but showed limited effects in fine-textured soils.

Researchers found that moderate biochar use in rice farming improves soil quality and yields, while excessive amounts are less effective, highlighting the need for balanced biochar application to reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers.

Discover the latest research that confirms the numerous benefits of biochar for soil health and agricultural productivity.

Biochar has traveled through history with a story of rediscovery. From the dark earth of the Amazon to today’s sustainable farms and gardens, it has always centered around one thing—building strong, healthy soil. Let’s follow biochar’s journey in 20-year leaps and see how it continues to shape soil health, garden soil, and compost practices. 2000 […]
