How do I use Biochar?
Biochar can be added to your garden, lawn or landscape soil. It is the easiest way to increase your exchange capacity. It can be used in large amounts without negative side effects. The better the exchange capacity of your soil, the better your soil. Biochar is not a source of plant nutrients, but with a balanced exchange capacity, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium and Sodium can then be brought into the correct ratios to make your ideal soil.
