What is Biochar?

Biochar is charcoal produced through pyrolysis (burning without oxygen) of organic biomass such as coconut shell.

Benefits for Soil

1. Improved Water Retention

Biochar porous structure can store water up to 5x its weight.

2. Enhanced Soil Nutrients

Biochar binds essential nutrients (N, P, K) and releases them slowly.

3. Soil pH Improvement

Alkaline biochar (pH 8-10) helps neutralize acidic soils.

4. Carbon Sequestration

Biochar stores carbon for hundreds of years, contributing to climate change mitigation.

Application Method

Mix 10-20% biochar into planting media. Soak biochar in nutrient solution before application. Apply during initial soil preparation.
