Doing my first burn today. I love this episode! Had to go back and watch it again. Shango and Cuauhtemoc are such great, genuine people. I could listen to them talk all day

How is there so few views? This is good. The whole channel is gold. RUclips…

[@ShangoLos]

Thanks! RUclips only shows the video to people who are logged in and over 18. Most RUclips users are not logged in. They just watch. So these videos are never shown to them. Really though, RUclips is our smallest platform. Most everyone listens to Shaping Fire on the website or a podcast app. This episode has been heard over 20,000 times. Just not here. Thanks for listening and you kind words!

Every farm could and should produce its own biochar. I love rice husk and bamboo char! In parts of África its the only input in very dry arid áreas. Another great show! Big ups.

It is mind blowing how many things cannabis could be used for.

Cuauhtemoc Villa is brilliant. I am working with biochar, soaking it in nano oxygenated compost tea. It recharges the soil. Let’s all do our part to save our soil.

[@wahbuddy]

So should we be making biochar out of the stalks of cannabis(or w/e plant you are growing)after they're harvested? It sounds like it, if that memory thing has that much benefit over time.

Slow burn and density is key. 🔥 like a joint 🤣
