Enriched (Activated or fermented) Biochar is our standard biochar mixed with farmyard manure, and fermented for a minimum of 6 months. It saves you time in seeing the benefits of adding biochar to your soil by already having completed the process of capturing nutrients into the charcoal. This increases the soil microbial activity which promotes the soil’s trace mineral supply and improves plant nutrient uptake.
By adding biochar to your soil it can result in less fertilizer, less irrigation and more growth. On top of that by incorporating biochar into the ground you are helping to fight global warming by performing carbon capture.
