Premium Biochar with CarbonBoost™ Wakefield Premium Biochar with CarbonBoost™ Wakefield Biochar with CarbonBoost™ combines the benefits of plant-based biochar with the powerful properties of mycorrhizae and plant probiotics. This blend not only improves soil structure and water retention but also enhances nutrient uptake by creating a symbiotic relationship between plants and beneficial fungi. The mycorrhizae increase root surface area, allowing plants to access more nutrients and water, leading to stronger and healthier growth. Plant probiotics further enhance soil health by promoting beneficial microbial activity, improving soil fertility and plant resilience.
