Re: Hawaii Biochar
Works great for sandy soils.
Good way to get rid of palm fronds.

It's a soil amendment that can be used with many other soil amendments. I use it with grass & compost to bind the excess nutrients and it also helps keep the soil loose for the next 100 years. I would like to learn more about if it has any beneficial effects on corm rot, anecdotally it appears to be positive.

I am going to use that stuff on all my plants, seems like a good supplement. I am always looking for cutting edge technology that will grow my plants bigger , stronger and bester  Years ago I would use the spent charcoal from the many canister filters on my aquariums as a soil supplement it was Ohio biochar. The stuff works. Henry Ford had some good ideas with it also. Kingsford charcoal. Last edited by cincinnana : 06-07-2014 at 06:17 AM. |
