What is
BioChar?
BioChar (or bio char) is a soil supplement made from organic materials. Known to improve soil structure, fertility, and resilience, Bio char is used in agriculture, horticulture, landscaping, and environmental restoration.
Superior Soil BioChar compost is the perfect blend of nutrients for your soil.
How is BioChar Made?
Biochar is produced through a unique, environmentally-friendly thermal decomposition process which involves heating organic materials in a low-oxygen environment.
This revolutionary process emits virtually zero gasses into the environment, giving BioChar its negative carbon footprint quality.
Why use
BioChar?
BioChar enhances soil water and nutrient retention, and promotes the growth of beneficial soil microbes, increasing plant nutrient availability.
As a result, BioChar-amended soils require less fertilizer application and even less frequent watering. While results vary, scientific studies show that bBioChar can increase crop yield dramatically.
