CarbonBoost™ is Wakefield BioChar’s blend of beneficial soil biology and wood-based biochar. It combines mycorrhizae, plant probiotics, and humic acid with biochar’s porous carbon structure. Each ingredient supports a different part of the soil system, creating a conditioner that works with plant roots, water, nutrients, and soil life.
The biochar forms the foundation. It improves soil structure, holds water and nutrients, and creates protected spaces where beneficial organisms can live. Mycorrhizae and plant probiotics add active biological support, while humic acid helps strengthen the connection between soil and plant nutrition.
Biochar Builds the Foundation
Wakefield’s biochar is made from wood waste through pyrolysis, a controlled heating process that creates stable, carbon-rich material. The finished biochar contains a network of pores that becomes part of the soil’s structure.
Those pores help keep moisture and nutrients in the root zone while supporting the movement of water and air. They also provide a durable habitat for soil organisms. Because biochar remains in soil for a long time, it gives the other CarbonBoost™ ingredients a lasting place to work. Learn more about what biochar is and how it supports soil.
Mycorrhizae Connect With Plant Roots
Mycorrhizae are beneficial fungi that form a close relationship with plant roots. Fine fungal strands spread through the soil beyond the roots themselves, helping plants reach water and nutrients across a larger area.
In return, plants share sugars produced through photosynthesis with the fungi. This natural partnership supports nutrient uptake, root development, and plant resilience. Biochar’s pore structure gives these fungi additional protected surfaces within the root zone.
Plant Probiotics Support Soil Life
CarbonBoost™ also contains beneficial Bacillus bacteria. These plant probiotics take part in the living processes that make nutrients available and help organic material move through the soil system. Their activity complements the fungi, roots, and other organisms already present.
Humic acid adds another layer of support. It helps the soil hold and exchange nutrients while contributing to a productive root-zone environment. Together, these biological and organic ingredients turn biochar into a ready-to-use enriched soil conditioner.
How the Ingredients Work Together
- Water retention: Biochar stores moisture in its pores and helps keep water available near roots.
- Nutrient retention: Biochar and humic acid help hold nutrients in the root zone instead of allowing them to wash away.
- Root support: Mycorrhizal fungi extend the area plants can explore for water and nutrients.
- Biological activity: Beneficial bacteria support nutrient cycling and the breakdown of organic matter.
- Soil structure: Biochar adds durable pore space that supports aeration, drainage, and root growth.
These functions reinforce one another. Better structure gives roots and organisms room to grow. Improved water and nutrient retention keeps essential resources nearby. Active soil biology helps move those resources into the living root system.
CarbonBoost™ in the Garden
Premium Biochar with CarbonBoost™ can be mixed into garden beds, raised beds, containers, new lawns, and established turf. It brings the lasting benefits of biochar and the immediate value of beneficial soil biology together in one product.
The result is a soil conditioner designed to help soil use water and nutrients more effectively while building a stronger environment for roots. Explore Premium Biochar with CarbonBoost™ or learn more about the elements of healthy soil.
