Maple Leaf Biochar is a 100% plant-based natural soil improver that has been recognized for hundreds of years. Our biochar is produced by carbonizing forest biomass. Its use in plant crops brings several advantages. BENEFITS Improves and maintains the development of microorganisms, promoting plant growth. Helps build soil structure, protecting against compaction and promoting aeration and root development. Provides nutrients and gradually releases them into the soil, reducing the need for supplements. Works in synergy with other horticultural agents such as compost, fertilizer, mycorrhizae and others, optimizing their contribution to soil structure and reducing leaching. Favors the retention of water and nutrients close to the root system, thanks to its porous structure. Supports sustainable agriculture by reducing the use of chemicals in the soil. Helps balance acid soils. Offsets greenhouse gas emissions by acting as a soil carbon sink. It therefore reduces the release of CO2 into the atmosphere. Composition – Guaranteed analysis on a dry basis: Carbon >75% Ash < 12% Nitrogen < 2% Porosity rate > 70% DESCRIPTION Granulometry: Pieces between 2mm and 20mmRaw material: Hardwood USES Potted plants Vegetable gardens Flower beds Trees and shrubs Lawn MANUAL Refer to the dosing chart below for the quantity to be used. Soak biochar before use. (Recommended min. time: 2 hours.) Soaking optimizes contact between biochar and soil and improves mixing efficiency. Repeat application every two years. For basic soils, use only half the recommended dose. Containers: 1 part biochar for 5 parts potting soil. Mix in entire container. Vegetable gardens and flower beds: 9 liters of biochar for 10 m2 of surface. Mix into the soil between 0 and 15 cm deep. Repeat every 2 years. Lawn: When sowing, 9 liters of biochar for 25 m² of surface. Mix into the soil between 0 and 5 cm deep. Trees: 1 part biochar to 5 parts potting soil Planting: place the mixture at the bottom of the hole before planting the tree. Addition to a tree: make a trench around the tree, pour the mixture and cover.
