PureChar Biochar is a highly porous, carbon-rich soil amendment made from wood fiber through a low-oxygen pyrolysis process. It improves soil performance by enhancing water retention, nutrient efficiency, and microbial life.
How to Use Biochar
Biochar works best when it’s blended into the soil and pre-loaded with nutrients before application.
- Charge the biochar first: Mix biochar with compost, worm castings, manure, or liquid nutrients and let it sit for 3-4 weeks. This prevents biochar from temporarily tying up nutrients.
- Application rate: Apply at 10-50% by volume.
- Best uses: Ideal for garden beds, high tunnels, raised beds, field, and compost blends.
- Long-term benefits: Biochar is not a quick fix — it improves soil performance year after year as it builds biological activity.
Pro tip: Biochar is most effective when used alongside organic matter, not as a standalone soil amendment.
This product does meet NRCS standards for Soil Carbon Amendment.
