Biochar for Composting
Biochar is a versatile compost booster, speeding composting rates and improving nutrient retention. Biochar compost is rich in nutrients and microbial life, and a perfect substrate for plants.
Biochar may be added to any organic matter to improve its composting speed and characteristics.

Biochar is the perfect home for microbial life because of its huge surface area (more than a tennis court's worth in one gram!), and the chemical properties of its carbon structure. Within biochar, microbes can expect a feast of stored oxygen, water, and all essential nutrients, allowing for the rapid growth and highly efficient operation of hosted microbial communities.
Biochar-facilitated composting is more efficient and effective than standard composting. Biochar is a crucial component of composting operations, whether in the garden or at industry-scale.
