Biochar is a new, different tool for soil fertility management.
Biochar isn’t a fertilizer, and doesn't provide plant nutrients,
but instead delivers other critical, valuable services
to support soil structure, plant health and a Soil Food Web.
To understand this new use of an ancient substance,
and to devise effective, integrated ways to use biochar
is a creative challenge with a significant learning curve.
Below are weblinks to resources to start this adventure.
