If-it Doesn't Fix-Nitrogen From The-Atmosphere &-Grow Like REAL Terra-Preta ... Then It's 'Not'-Really R-PROMISE so-to-Speak. >(*~*)<

@mazy500 There are ways to capture or burn all gases other than CO2 and water vapor. Since biochar is buried and plants are grown again on the land, the net effect is carbon negative. Eventually the biochar is degraded, investigation to get the terra preta effec is ongoing

problem is, they want to modify it and put a patent on it ! these global warming nuts are playing right in to the hands of large corporations !

I have been making biochar out of saw dust and wood shavings which saves crushing it or you can put it through a garden shredder, but wear a mask!

not necessarily being a botanist dependant on your soil. this culd be used to agregate soils but experiments would have to be conducted i would add a mixture to get a well rounded soil.

Particle size I would say that from my experience as a chemist as fine as you can be bothered to grind it.

This is very cool. You burn 50% of the energy from plant matters and returns the rest of the 50% back to enhance the soil. Make farmers part of the solution.

does the manufacturing or burning of this 'biochar' give off any bad gases to the atmosphere
