Research is now confirming biochar benefits include:
- Reduced leaching of nitrogen into ground water
- Possible reduced emissions of nitrous oxide
- Increased cation-exchange capacity resulting in improved soil fertility
- Moderating of soil acidity
- Increased water retention
- Increased number of beneficial soil microbes
That’s science talk for Better Soil. Better Gardens. Better World!
