VHG BioChar

Improve soil structure, increase water and nutrient retention, and enhance root density with biochar. This vegan, organic biochar by Biochar Now is OMRI-listed and UDSA certified biobased.  

Similar to charcoal, biochar is produced using the ancient practice of heating wood or other plant material (biomass) with little to no oxygen. However, unlike charcoal, which is often used for cooking, biochar is made under specific conditions with the intent to be applied to soil as a means to increase soil fertility and agricultural yields, and sequester carbon to reverse global warming. It maintains a porous structure, which attracts beneficial microbes, holds onto nutrients, and retains moisture – qualities that increase fertilizer efficiency and enhance crop yield while reducing the need to irrigate.
