Backyard Biochar for Centuries of Soil Improvement: How We Make Easy Biochar + Charging/Application
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2022
- In this video you will see how we do a big biochar burn, how we charge biochar, how we apply biochar to the garden, and some of our biochar results. And we have some fun along the way.
From the Terra Preta soils of the Amazon to your backyard, biochar is a long-term soil improving amendment that we have been testing with excellent results in our poor, infertile sand.
This trench method is the easy way to make biochar on a large scale.

![Sandy Backyard to Productive Eden in JUST 9 MONTHS [David The Good June Garden Tour 2021!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wHq1Uag1Jk0/mqdefault.jpg)
Hi David, I have been experimenting with producing terra preta for almost a year. I realised that the original makers would not have had been able to easily transport water to extinguish the charcoal. It had to be a lazy process. The trick is to use compost material to put out the coals. The quenching charges the biochar and partially cooks the compost making it decompose very quickly. I have had excellent results using this method. Highly recommend.
Thank you
That level of heat will kill the microbiome. Then, it will need to be re-introduced and allowed to re-establish.
@@tonysaladino1062 Absolutely. This is often desirable because the hest will degrade persistent pesticides. There are no shortage of these in my country. Microbes are rapidly reintroduced via air, and accelerated by addition of a bit of ready compost. If this were a real issue, I would not have excellent soil within 15 days. I just spread the mixture in a garden bed and plant with anything that does well in a compost heap. The microbiome from a farmer's relatively sterile field is not going to help the compost in any way. Mold from rotting food also won't help make good soil. Better to kill it off.
I wondered if the clay shards were from pots that broke when trying to extinguish fires
If you have banana growing you could use the stalk and leaves to cover the coals, they hold a ton of water and are full of potassium.
At the beginning of winter I cut down a pine that had beetles in it and burned it in a trench, then poured about 25 gallons of swamp water on it, along with some cow manure then threw some winter rye and it is the best looking spot in my yard.
Bet that smelled amazing !
"If for no other reason it gives me an excuse to light up fires."
This is the way.
Whatcom and Skagit counties are two farming areas here in Washington state. The newspaper, daily Olympian, had an article of logging companies will be burning the brush and slag for farms as biochar . Cool
Do you have to be a big farm? Also do you have to be in those counties? I am in Snohomish county.
@@inharmonywithearth9982 have u considered that not all forests are that wet? Maybe the drier ones need a different way to break down such as fire. True there are fungi etc but most need moisture
@@inharmonywithearth9982 that's so terrible 😞

I just realized that David the Good is currently my favorite channel.
I got into Terra Preta bc of a Joe Rogan interview with Graham Hancock. And now I find you actually instructing people how to make it. Incredible. I’m a country boy and can’t wait to try this out.
You are blessed to have your kids helping and learning farming skills. Warmed my heart when you asked which "shovel you want" and the youngen responded "which one you want " very thoughtful.
Children are a direct reflection of their parenting. Good children almost always reflect the intellect and character of their parents.
I liked that part too especially when I saw that he ended up giving her what looked like the more scoop, newer shovel even though it may have been more efficient for him to use it, cause whether or not it is the better tool for them, kids are always stoked to get to use the cool new stuff. Then they become teens and suddenly everything has gotta be vintage, record players show up, your old leather jacket gets a second chance to shine till we get to the age where we want whatever we can't have or think we need to afford and the same old cycle repeats itself over and over with each generation....
@@jayo8621 I have to agree with your vintage assessment...my almost 18 year old daughter looks like she walked out of a 70s magazine ad....
woohoo , double digit likes on a comment, I feel special like I made into the big leagues, I bet if I breathe in real deep I could smell just a hint of the stench that follows fame...
@@jayo8621 lol, love it😂
It's 0530 in the morning as I'm watching this and drinking my coffee. At some point I swear I can start smelling that charcoal and the fire and the smoke and I think 'the mind is an amazing thing, smelling something I am just seeing'
...Walk outside and it turns out the neighbor had started a fire in his burn pit.
That is hilarious.

This is my 5th year of making biochar in the wood stove using hotel pans with loose fitting lids.
Also out in our swales, we prune the trees and have a steel "kiln" made from old roofing steel. The kiln, when set up is about a meter and a half across, so can do larger branches.
Pro Tip: have a recipricating saw with a pruning blade on it, as well as your machete to take care of the "stringy" bits. Chop them down to what size will fit in your pit.
I often just lay un-charged char on the top of the soil, and let the action of my footsteps grind it up. Also soil life will move into it on its own over time. I don't turn it in. The worms do it for me.
Thank you!
As a young father with a 3 year old, a 6 month old, and Lord willing, a handful more to come, I cannot wait to get the garden started and be able to just go out and work with the kids! We spent the last year building our house and there were plenty of fun memories, but now my daughter is old enough that she's actually interested and able to help with small tasks! I loved seeing your kids working alongside you!
You'll have a great time.
I’ve been making char all winter in an old Coleman grill. I just plug the air holes in the bottom. Filled up five 5 gallon buckets worth so far, just from stuff around the yard. It’s now chilling in a vat of yellow gold.
I did the very same thing.
I have naturally sourced hard and softwood pellets burning in the wood stove. I've been saving the ashes and tiny charcoal all winter. I also save our meat bones for bone meal later on. I should only need to buy some blood meal this year. Chicken manure composting and kitchen scrap composting.
I gradually build a "teepee" shaped brush pile 10 to 12 ft high by 8 ft wide, all the long limbs arrayed around growing parameter upright angled in. It takes slightly longer to construct than a messy pile but takes much smaller footprint in my backyard which matters as I burn only 2 to 3X pre yr, as soon as one is burned the next is being built. Shaped like that it can be burned down to coals in 90 minutes with minimal smoke and some large chunks set aside for another couple hrs of burring, quench and harvest about 2 wheelbarrows of char. Fire shoots up the middle like a chimney high and narrow.
Found this to be far more efficient in time, cleanliness and char production than my old way of burning a random pile, raking out and quenching char which takes several hrs, much more smoke, tending and less product.
I would love to see how you do it!
@@glorytogodhomestead3495 Maybe I’ll do a video
I just appreciate seeing someone dig a big hole with a shovel, and not a excavator
The vast hoard appreciates the work you guys put in.
Perfect timing on this video for me! Arborist just unloaded 2 huge loads of brush and gave ME $100 for taking it. I've been saving an old half-cut fuel oil tank for years. The great charring of 2022 has begun! Added bonus: a good place for the boys to relieve themselves outdoors. It will be charged in no time! Thank you!
You lucky dawg!
@@georgecarlin2656 check with your local city/county park department. There's another channel where the farmer gets paid to allow the municipality to dump truckloads of fall leaves they collect on his land. He just lets it sit and compost and then spreads the leaf mold on his fields.
It might be the same thing with brush in your area, worth looking into.
@@dogslobbergardens6606 Thanks, but I'm from Europe, in a country that doesn't really have such services. I once asked such a truck full of leaves to dump them in my yard (I told them I'll pay them) but the employees didn't care, told me to come in the evening and when I came it wasn't there anymore, didn't work out.
@@georgecarlin2656 don't give up so easily
@@peterson6824 thanks, actually about 2 months ago my neighbor said I can take his corn stover for free as he didn't need it anymore and I made 50+ wheelbarrows of biochar, already grew some things in it, though most of it will kick in in the next year, a lot of it is still composting (to charge it). Got a few videos about biochar on my channel.
Fantastic video - The fact that I get video's like this that are practically how to guides documentaries from such knowledgeable sources like you is why the internet, for all of it's many flaws, is great. Thank you for putting in so much work to explain the what and why and address some of the criticisms with your jovial spirit. God Bless brother
Thank you
Your daughter at the end charging the biochar was magical. Silently gaining knowledge and nurturing the Earth unafraid to do manual labor and pitch in. It seemed like a scene from a movie.👍
Thank you. I was using an old Russian lens and enjoyed that cinematic effect.

On our farm we make about 50 gallons a week of Biochar and that’s long enough for me to save enough urine if I dilute it 1:5 with water and soak the coal. It seems to work pretty well.
That is perfect
I always vary the sources of N some from urine is good, but if you get some from turning in snow, or chicken manure, grass clippings or blood, worm castings, etc. the more and varied the sources of nitrogen are, the more broad range of microbes will find their niche.
@@tonysaladino1062 nitrogen in snow? I knew about rain but didn’t make the connection to snow. This is exciting! I suppose letting barrels sit out and gather rainwater versus filling from a hose would be advantageous.
@@tonysaladino1062 nitrogen in snow? I knew about rain but didn’t make the connection to snow. This is exciting!
@@greatworkschiro snow traps atmospheric N in the crystal structure. I have experienced great results when several sources of N are combined when making biochar.
Ohhhh, small cabbages are great when roasted. The enzymes within convert the starches to sugar as the temperature rises in the roasting pan (I put them on top so they don't get saturated, with ham and Kielbasa and carrots) they turn out dark (I quarter them) on the cut sides, and so sweet. Many thanks for the video (and the others)
A huge H U G E thank you for sharing all this. Keep creating, keep healthy and safe.
Thank you for shouting out skillcult, I've been watching him for some time now and I must say that he is the most SUPREMELY underrated channel on youtube.
Thank you. He is brilliant.
Like your charging the char in the chicken coop ,simple and easy. And the chickens will have a clean gizzard !
I would LOVE Rachel's pickled beets recipe!
We've had great success at patching broken tubs by using old scrap inner tube material sandwiched between small lengths of plate metal, secured with quarter x 20 bolts and washers. When you tighten the bolts, the inner tube gets compressed and seals out water. The steel plates reinforce the tub, so that water weight doesn't put stress on the damaged area, causing water fractures.
that sounds like it would come in handy...wish there was a video so I could visualize it ;)
One method I use for grinding biochar is to use a bucket or aluminum trash can and a sledgehammer - as it fills up just add more char on top and keep crushing
Yay, another episode of Digging with David!
I love the cheerful pyromania and fetted mayonnaise molecules in this episode, jokes aside I have been eagerly awaiting a biochar followup video and was glad to see you back on it. I'm glad to see it demonstrated simply like this, I agree burning inside of something and burning something else to burn that to char is a lot ...... this is simple. We may be pyros but we are not pyrolysis engineers, we just want some dank brix readings on our food!
It is important to make the particles small though. Larger than 2mm, the chunks resemble gravel, not soil.
@@tonysaladino1062 They are not supposed to look like soil. They continue evolving under ground.
@@carmenortiz5294 few natural processes crush or digest char chunks. I have done hundreds of batches and the particle sizes under 2mm always perform better. If chunks are too large, two problems are created, if water ever does get to the center, it is too pure for organisms to exploit for habitat and because they can dry out, that makes them rise in the soil column, when wet conditions return, breaking any associations they may have formed with the mirobiotic community. When particles are small enough to emulate soil particles, they work best, unless you are using char for pathways, larger chunks mean less performance.
@@tonysaladino1062 Thanks for the info✓
I grew up in the fla panhandle near the bay. There was a spot on the water where there had been an indian village hundreds or thousands of years ago. We found arrowheads and pieces of pottery. One day we decided to dig a hole and see if we would come across any artifacts beneath the surface. We didn't find anything but oyster shells, but about three feet down, we found a campfire, and the charcoal was still intact and looked like they had just put out the fire.
WE ARE IN! This experiment is perfect for this exact moment in time. Why you ask?! Because we just got a beautiful plot of land in the Ozarks of Missouri. This property has been a forest for many years. Several years ago it was clear cut. It's coming back beautifully. 90% of it is forest, and a small spot was cleared for us to park our bus, and start growing food ASAP. Along with get some chickens. Along the edges of the clearing are huge piles of trees. We are building with the logs that are still good. A green house, fences, yada yada. The branches that are too small for the fence would be perfect for biochar! We've been burning them. So glad you showed your friend who inspired you. We were like... Ooo no! We don't want to be those people that just waste it!
Anyways... Thanks for taking the time to make this beautiful, creatively put together film. Really. You are your family are so inspiring. We jive with your vibe! We're pickin' up, what your puttin' down. LOL
Gratitude to all of you. - Erin + Brian
It is such a treat to listen to you and learn from you.
Hi David. I really love all the tips you give! Using many of them.
I’ve been waiting for the courage. The thing that is missing from modern version of the black soil bio char is
Menstrual Blood.
Those clay shards were from the pots these women sat on to collect this precious commodity. Charcoal and partly burned bone bits from the fire kept the smell down. And someone noticed that plants grew very well where these pots were disposed of. So collection began.
Now we sell plenty of stuff to women to avoid seeing and using this blood. It helps things grow.
Too bad I don’t have this commodity any more.
brilliant .... what did the pots look like ... fascinating ... really want to know more please
@@paulhand5015 the article I read only had a drawing of these pots. Maybe 14 inches tall,narrowed at the neck and a wide lip, curled out . The illustration showed a woman sitting on it, so not much more detail than that. I suppose there could have been some that were just off the floor.
@@rheac953 thank you so much for this information ... I will continue trying to find more information .. I have been working on biochar with my daughter for more than 10 years .. we intend to make pots for making terra preta if you find any more details I would be most interested ... happy to send any results from here we are in shropshire england
This is my first year after having read one of Steve Solomons books that gives the organic fertilizer mix. I can’t wait to see how it goes.
We used the same horse trough this year to brood our Plymouth rock chicks 😊 It was the perfect size for my young sons to peer in and talk to them too.
Love the sense of humor you bring to your content. Enjoy seeing your family in the garden with you as well as your son's clay marbles. So wholesome 😍 Very inspiring to see how you do your biochar as well as your layers. I understand biochar a lot more now.
Thank you
I love it! I'm also zone 8 and I chose it specifically for the once a year cold that kills bugs but still warm enough to have an amazing growing season
And likely enough rain to live unlike most of the western US, that's beholden to pumping ground water or massive diversion infrastructure.
@@jambohoofgood3417 proof in my dry yard.
Keeping this in mind for future
@@heatherk8931 There's great videos about rainfall catching and native plants in Phoenix that turns dry places back green. Not standard American yard green but alive with plants. The square footage of your roof effectively doubles the amount of rainfall for about 1/2 the radius of your house. If you aren't "Pushing the Zone" via David The Good's book ideas that gives you 1000-3000 sq ft around the house where you possibly could have appropriate rainfall to grow things even if the piped water is gone. (doubling your annual rainfall by pushing all the rain off the area of your roof) Assuming no gutters and no catch tanks; with those you can really get to work. Maybe with less vigor of weeds to deal with too.
Thank you so much for making things so much easier for basic simple people like me. These “professionals “ are ALL. Talk & no action! I understand you! Thank you for that!👍🙏❤️
I love hearing all the references to other channels that I have watched like Skillcult and OAG. I heard you mention Dirtpatchheaven recently too. It’s like a crossover episode! All that we need next is a Demolition Ranch reference and I’ll die happy.
David the Good + Demo Ranch = Visit from Barney Fife
My adult son loves watching demolition ranch! To combine David the Good with that could be pretty fun
@@philsexton70 Barney, lol, pow, pow ,pow👍🏻
Today on Demolition Ranch, we're gonna find out how many organically grown turnips it takes to stop a .50BMG round!
I haven't read all the comments so what I do may be old news.
I make charcoal through Vermont's winter. Most of the "waste" is just bark and some leftovers from from my firewood processing, about 10-15 50 lbs feed bags full. Through the winter when i get about a 5 gallon bucket full put mix it in with my chicken litter. It helps keep that ammonia smell down and it is good for the chickens too. Come spring I clean the coop out into the compost pile and mix it up with last falls leaves and the first cuttings of grass clippings making it a hot compost. When I can get into the gardens I pull the compost mix it in the beds and and later plant.
Idea - rotate an outhouse around fruit trees, add biochar along the way, keep smell down and loads your char.
Build it and they (roots) will come.
David, thank you! Always enjoy the visit, good camera shots and information.
Just watched a RUclips video produced by NHK and the Japanese have actually started producing biochar as a by product of forest management and energy production. The biochar is given to farmers to improve their soils for organic farming. Pretty impressive
Love adding the biochar to the coop...great idea!
This is a wonderfully simple idea thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks Dtg and family for another wonderful video. ☮
that south Alabama sandy soil is craving minerals. the bio char is full of the minor minerals that you get in commercial products, but this way you're making it yourself. If you want to grow vegetables for the table you'd better add this practice to your routine. thank you David
Too much to comment on David, but yeah, watching this I was definitely having camera envy, so that was hilarious. That opening shot makes me queasy with the spriral bokeh, but so many good shots in there! You're killing it lately. Great flow and story building too. Keep beating the dead horse of context and maybe people will get it eventually ;)
Thank you, bro.
Thank you for all the good info on making Biochar.
Thank you to you and your beautiful family for this lesson on biochar. I'm going to do this the next couple of weeks for my garden. 🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃
We love you and your family GODBLESS you David good
Clever method of application 👏 after amending the char 👍 awesome!
Thank you for such a detailed video. I will be starting this tomorrow. I have LOTS of brush.
Thank you for keeping this stranger entertained 😄
No, truly, I learned a lot. Thank you 😊
Can't wait to see updates on this and the terra preta experiments
I'm excited to see your future videos on the results of using biochar and the effect it has over a long period of time.
I love the idea of char in the coop! That’s what I need to do even if it’s just for the coop area.
Great video I’m going to watch as many videos as I can tonight because your inspiring and your also a amazing educator thank you 😊
Thank you! When I first heard about the history of this, I was amazed!
Gotta love these southern winters. 20 degrees in the morning and 70 in the afternoon. High of 27 on Tuesday and low of 68 on Wednesday. Last frost? Could be February. Could be April. Who knows?
My garden is still pretty small, so I just buy natural hardwood charcoal and smash it up. Soak it in water and fish emulsion. Made for an enormous tomato forest last year.
I'm not here to be entertained but rather to learn how to grow food. Thanks a lot for the information you are providing in these videos. Honestly, thank you!
after watching more of your videos and seeing a live stream with your music I changed my mind. I'm here to be entertained and to learn. your songs are hilarious
I like the disco chickens! Glad we got to meet all of you on Friday in Blountstown .. glad we were able to get some Seminole pumpkin seeds ... take care, keep on experimenting and sharing with us all ...
Great video brother David. Your right about the size. Nothing in life is uniform or without mess. Just go for it👍❤️🙏 !!! God bless you and the family always from South Mississippi😁
I'm sure Kevin Kostner will love you for still quoting him!
It was therapeutic watching this!
This video is great. Thank you for sharing.
Reviewing this again because I'm about to start another sort-of-hugel bed and I have an abundance of bradford pear limbs to use up. Thanks again!
Finally someone on the tube yoobs that understands the problems with alabama dirt!! I'll definitely be spending this winter making char.

We moved to Clanton AL from the Kansas City area. I’m 76 and have been gardening most of my life. I feel lost, the soil is nothing like what I’m used to. The temperatures are really different. Love your videos hope to see more. Mickey
Great video! I will definitely be making biochar for my gardens, on a much smaller scale as I am in suburbia. I have made the charcoal before pretty easily just in my portable patio fire pit, I just put the cover on so it smothers the fire and the next morning I have mostly coals left. I didn't know about soaking it though so I am excited to see what happens with that! Thanks!
The energy potential and then afterwards the soil fertility potential of wood is incredible.
I love that David and I grow with similar dissatisfaction with preppy/fancy norms.
No need for a harvest bin... just toss and roll those turnips
Thank you so mush for your hard work, and sharing with us. Anxious for next years garden.
Thank you.
This Bio-char method and remedy for poor soil is absolutely intriguing!!
I'm already winding up for spring here in 5b. Been doing biochar in our small urban backyard with whatever is on hand to burn, even picked up other people's trimmings and branches this fall to char. Get about 5 gallon at a time in out little backyard firepit and soak it until the next fire pit.
I cycle some through the compost bin, mixed in 10 g with the new batch of leaf mold this fall, spread some under the fall mulch in the main garden bed.
Put it everywhere!
Appreciate what you and the family do there, DtG.
Sending thank yous to you and yours David the Gooood
Chicken disco good! I've been making chat in a pit about 3 feet across and 2 feet deep. You may have just inspired me to scale way up!
If anyone tells you they know everything about biochar, they are a fool! I've been at it close to 25 years now and still learn something now and then. Here's a few pointers related to your video:
Longevity: Char in the soil can last over 1000 years! Per your tera preta comment, this is where researchers found char dating that far back and 8-10 feet down. I dumped some char in the woods on the surface, 19 years later, that pile was under 2 inches of soil (not including leaf drop etc). The deeper the root system, the deeper nature will work that char into the soil, long after we're gone.
Size: It doesn't matter much. All sizes do the same thing but get used differenty. Powdered char is small enough to pass thru a worm, so adding it as grit makes it become intergrated in the castings. I had a golf ball size piece sitting on the soil surface and within a week a 1/4 inch spider made a home inside one of the openings. No matter the size, char can be home to more than just bacteria.
Charging: Anything high in nitrogen will work. Other elements are imoprtant too but seems like nitrogen is char's favorite. Using it in worm bin, chicken coops (or any animal bedding), compost, humanure etc is the way to go.
Making: Your method versus kiln methods shouldn't be compared in my opinion. Each method has its own purpose. Your method of burn and cover dates back many thousands of years and works great. Worth mentioning though, that if you use the same pit/area for many years, the washed off ash, that is highly alkaline, may eventually affect the water table ph. For high volume it still is the best. The kiln method makes sense for locations with scare carbon sources so you want to make the most of it, not losing any to ash. Also, this method is better for making char for filters and especially medical grade (needs extra high temp and be clean of ash).
Filters: I'm getting my roof reshingled on a house I just bought. The chemicals leach from new shingles for about 5-10 years. So to be able to water harvest for the garden, I will be running the water thru barrels of raw char first.
Chicken disco: Yaas!! 👍
Great video, keep up the good work!
Great notes - thank you
I appreciate your educational and super entertaining videos. I never ever wanted to be a gardener of any sort until recently. Now- videos like yours are helping propel me forward to growing clean healthy food for my family.
Thank you.
you know David TG I just want to put a roast or bird with some root vegetables, well wrapped in an area of this pit & leave it there for hours to slow cook & after the work of making this biochar I can serve a delicious meal to refuel. Mr. & Mrs. Good, I hope you join with us! very nice video I hope gets the attention it deserves, thanks again.
David you are making Biochar a Hot Topic, Definitely going to incorporate it into my homestead in East Tennessee,
I completely understand about your soil and how the “stuff” just flows away and never stays! Moved to the sandy Baja Sur, Mexico… here’s hoping the good stuff sticks to this black fluff. Cheers for the video!
I like your approach. I'm an Anarcho-garderner too yet, I'm probably at the intermediate stage so far.
Just watched this now for the first time. Absolutely fantastic. Exactly what I was looking for- bio char from A to X, with Y and Z yet to come. Thanks for this very complete video. I hope your channel is doing well for you. I love that you break the rules of videos have to be short. Not for me. All the best to you and your family.
It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history. - Guy Montag, Fahrenheit 451
At 16:21 what we all came for, very nice man, great work.
Thanks for taking the time to create this thorough video on biochar, David! Jesus bless you and your family
Thank you, May
Luv your vids....tysm for sharing your knowledge!😊
Great video David, my brother! Really seems like a great strategy to load the garden with millions of carbon-based sponges pre-loaded with minerals and nutrients, while also providing habitat for the microbes. I found the video to be extremely informative, entertaining and inspiring. I wish I could go back 2 months in time when I burned a bunch of olive tree cuttings! I will certainly be implementing this technique into my arsenal! I see that it is a lot of work, but hopefully it pays off in long-term dividends! Great music! God bless you and your family!
I really enjoyed seeing this!
