PureChar Biochar is a highly porous, carbon-rich soil amendment made from wood fiber through a low-oxygen pyrolysis process. It improves soil performance by enhancing water retention, nutrient efficiency, and microbial life. How to Use BiocharBiochar works best when it’s blended into the soil and pre-loaded with nutrients before application. Charge the biochar first: Mix biochar with compost, worm castings, manure, or liquid nutrients and let it sit for 3-4 weeks. This prevents biochar from temporarily tying up nutrients. Application rate: Apply at 10-50% by volume. Best uses: Ideal for garden beds, high tunnels, raised beds, field, and compost blends. Long-term benefits: Biochar is not a quick fix — it improves soil performance year after year as it builds biological activity. Pro tip: Biochar is most effective when used alongside organic matter, not as a standalone soil amendment. This product does meet NRCS standards for Soil Carbon Amendment.
