Making & Using Biochar in Your Garden

  • Wednesday, February 21, 2018, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

What is biochar and how does it improve garden soil? Sean Dembrosky from Edible Acres will lead this workshop on the benefits of biochar and show how to make it yourself. We'll discuss a number of easy and simple ways to make biochar in the wood stove, in simple outdoor pits, in mobile containers, and more. We'll explore how biochar can provide amazing boosts to your soil and discuss appropriate ways of incorporating it.
