  • @MichaelnChristine like I said, I one time worked for a chicken processing plant.I will leave it at that.what ever is burnt will still have trace amounts of whatever it was.“ I expected a lot of difficulties in extracting microbial DNA from the biochar.

    However, I encountered NO problems extracting high concentration and

    good quality total DNA using standard genomic DNA extraction from

    sediment. There seems to be a lot of diverse microbes as well. I will send the link of that for you

  • @tappakeggaday1 To me killing an animal isn't the same as mistreating it. I have no issue with killing animals and eating meat. I just don't see that we have to torture them and raise them in filthy, ugly ways. Biochar is pretty much inert.  It's almost pure carbon. The truth is that it helps build soil but isn't a fertilizer and has no fertilizing characteristics.

  • you could use that from 5 bucks a ton to 600 a ton do what the one guy does with cow poop and that is feed it to worms and harvest the worm castings for some of the best natural fertilizer and make even more money

  • @MichaelnChristine I one time worked for a chicken processing plant,and after what i had seen what those chickens go through I didn't eat one for almost five years.would be nice if the world was at peace and we were all vegans but it's not how things work.Bio char is the best thing I have seen as far as anything goes in a long time,I would think since this is chicken poop that even after the process it still has some of the fertilizer quality's to it without burning the crops?

  • Maybe if he didn't raise chickens in such a cruel, horrible way he wouldn't need that thing.

  • You stole my line :-D

  • he said biochar 11 times. :P

  • ahaha, from 5$ a ton to 600$ a ton. that's amazing
