My grandparents who were the children of African slaves in America used this technique in there farming when I was a little boy seventy years ago. I am sure that they learned it from their parents and grandparents.
My family escaped genocide in Germany 1919 and are mistakingly discriminated against and racistly called colonist. It was the culture for all country families in America. You would take your wood stove ashes and put it on the garden. Pushed off as a magically new idea to buy after banning wood stoves.
The biomass that is turned into char SHOULD be only biomass that is already at risk of biodegrading, in which case in a matter of years most of not all of the carbon would be released back into the atmosphere. If you take that biomass and char it instead, you release maybe 50 - 75% of the carbon quickly during the burn, but the remaining 25 - 50% of the carbon is locked into a non-biodegradable form which stays as a solid for hundreds or thousands of years.

The future is all we have left ,
the most important thing we hand
down to our child is the land that
can feed them for life.
Thank you! Great video! Keep it up! :)
I was about to comment the same ,
Great Video!
The ash component in Biochar is high in K Potassium...
It is really helpful thanks 😊
Glad to hear that
Where can I buy biochar
This is great but doesn't the wood burning create a lot of C02 emissions?
Not as much as it stores. Emissions depend on the pyrolysis technology and are factored in, i.e. deducted, when carbon credits are issued.
