Everything Bio-Char

If you are aware and know of Bio-char, Welcome! However, if you are not aware of what Bio-char is, then please allow us to introduce you to a newly recreated important technology for have healthy crops and plants, year, after year, after year! Believe it or not, this process for keeping soil healthy and full of the nutrients it needs to have crops and plants grow, has been around since the ancient Amazonians! Their method, was similar but also different! The ancient Amazonians had a technic called "slash-and-char" this method was done by using bio material and crop remains that were then cut and set on fire, but were then buried. This allowed the material to smolder instead of burn. The final product, was a charcoal like substance that would then be used to regenerate the soil with nutrients. 

Bio-Char, is quite similar but just a bit different. To create Bio-Char, the first step is collecting a large amount of bio-mass (vegetation, wood waste, etc. ) then heating it to almost 1000° Fahrenheit, oxygen is limited in the process for the purpose of not having the bio-mass combust. This leaves behind a stable carbon structure, very similar to the ancient Amazonians. The difference is that the reformulated way of creating bio-char, mainly from the higher levels of heat, make bio-char an EXTREMELY stable carbon that has an exponential amount of pores, these pores create a large surface area from a tiny amount of carbon. This biochar is a optimal breeding ground for beneficial soil microbes. This benefits by holding both water and nutrients, where plants need them most, in the roots. The whole purpose of this bio-char is to regenerate the soil, so that it is capable of planting crops again and again.
