Biochar for me is a winter activity. Using covered roasting pans as the Retort, filled with scrap wood and placed in the Woodstove on hot coals. So all that heat goes to heating our home.
I would suggest the open "pit method" popularized by Pacific Biochar. It's easier, and you get massive amounts of biochar. On their website he explains
how to do it "How to make biochar with only a match." The more advanced version is called the Kon Tiki made with metal
Mashallah Geoff🙌🏼❤️
‼️‼️‼️JUST REALIZED this is Hugh Grant. So cool that he’s doing his true passion now!
Expert tip, steal some stainless steel beer kegs of different sizes to use, they don’t burn out!
Beautiful bamboo you grow there. Do you know what species it is?
It's wonderful how you can stack equipment around bamboo plants and you don't have to worry about grass or weeds growing around it. The ground will stay completely empty.
Interesting demonstration 👍 but I couldn't take my eyes from the huge 🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋
You could use a 60lL drum will last longer😊
Good advice…I’m going to try that! Thanks❤️
Doesn't that produce plain char? It's still useful, but you'd ideally want hot char in contact with water vapor to get more activated char. To do that, you'd want to pour water in the inner bucket after it's nice and hot.
the steam might activate it in the sense of possibly creating more pore space but charcoal is already porous. Biochar's distinguishing factor is that it has been soaked / inoculated with beneficial microbial life. Activated / charged via biology
Hmmmm
Charcoal
Try getting the bottom of your biochar bucket made of nickel!
isnt biochar as simple as you just burn a bunch of wood and throw the char in a compost pile for inoculation?
a stainless steel container will not burn out like that over time
I can't justify the use of biochar..
Our goal is to trap as much carbon as possible in the soils, biochar starts with emitting carbon in the first place...
If the biochar amends poor soil, the plants that will grow in the amended soil will be able to thrive and thus capture far more carbon. If your soil is already good then you may not have the need for biochar. I've been amending my sandy Florida land with seaweed, but I've been wanting to make biochar from some of the biomass I've been accumulating from pruning my very productive Bolivian sunflower plants.
I use the same method as Kelpie Wilson. Flame cap. ruclips.net/video/oCQ6NoY2-Fg/видео.html
You wouldn't think so, but the amount of biochar produced is impressive.
Can you repost just the link

I'm sad to see this selfishly consumptive exploit of air quality from a beloved teacher like Geoff.
If people are not using dead wood, making healthy soil by making bio char, means saving years of breakdown and more to being used for faster tree growth. Garden water management.
Fire is part of nature. Those of us with poor quality soil can grow healthier plants if we can amend the soil, so the plants that grow in the amended soil will capture far more carbon than the initial burning released. It's all a balancing act. ☯️
