How Premium Biochar supports soil
Biochar is a long-lasting, carbon-rich soil amendment. Mixed into soil, it supports soil structure, water and nutrient retention, and air exchange around roots.
Its porous structure creates habitat for beneficial soil microbes and adds stable organic carbon. Premium Biochar gives you the flexibility to combine it with compost and other ingredients for your own soil blend.
How to use Premium Biochar
Mix thoroughly into soil or growing media at about 5–10% by volume of the finished mix. Incorporate at planting or repotting rather than leaving it on the surface.
For new plantings, you can optionally mix it with mature compost and keep it moist for one to two weeks before use.
Using Premium Biochar in lawns
For new lawns, seeding, or sod, mix biochar into the top layer of soil before planting. For existing lawn repairs, aerate, spread by hand or shovel, then rake into the openings. Small garden spreaders can clog.

Premium Biochar questions
Can I use it around established plants?
Gently blend into accessible soil without damaging roots. Surface spreading does not reliably move biochar into the root zone; repotting is usually the most practical option for established containers. Consult a qualified arborist before working around dense tree roots.
Do I need to reapply it every year?
An annual application is generally unnecessary if amended soil remains in place. Consider more when adding fresh soil or replacing soil that has been removed or eroded. Keep biochar at about 5–10% of the finished mix rather than adding that amount again each year.
