How I Made My Soil 10x Richer Using This Simple Garden Recipe!
Charcoal or biochar is an excellent addition to your garden, providing a perfect home for beneficial microbes while improving soil structure and fertility. But what if you don’t have any charcoal at home? Don’t worry, because we’re going to show you how to make your own, and turn it into a nutrient-rich, microbe-packed mixture that will transform your soil into a rich, thriving environment for years to come.
First, we need to make charcoal. To do this, gather some wood. It’s important to use hardwood for this process because softwood tends to burn too quickly and turn into ash. While wood ash is also beneficial for the garden, for this specific mixture, we need charcoal. Burn the hardwood in a safe outdoor area. Allow it to burn until it begins to smolder and the flames die down. Once the fire has stopped burning, let the wood cool completely. Be patient and ensure there are no hot embers left before handling it.
