What is Biochar?
Biochar is a type of fine-grained charcoal created by burning wood and agricultural byproducts slowly, at low temperatures, with a reduced oxygen supply. Although biochar is a new term, use of the substance in gardens is not a new concept. In fact, researchers believe that early residents of the Amazon rainforest enhanced soil productivity by using biochar, which they produced by burning agricultural waste slowly in trenches or pits.

as a soil amendment enhances plant growth and reduces need for water and fertilizer. This is because more moisture and nutrients remain in the soil and don’t leach into the groundwater.
You can create biochar in your own garden by burning brush, wood shavings, dry weeds and other garden debris in a trench. Light a hot fire so the oxygen supply is quickly reduced, and then let the fire burn down. Initially, the smoke from the fire should be white as water vapor is released, gradually turning yellow as resins and other materials are burned. When the smoke is thin and grayish-blue in color, cover the burning material with about an inch of excavated garden soil. Allow the material to smolder until it creates chunks of charcoal, then extinguish the remaining fire with water.
