By incorporating biochar into your garden or farm, you not only improve soil health and increase crop yields but also actively participate in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This workshop will equip you with the skills to make biochar yourself, turning organic waste into a valuable resource for both the environment and your plants.
Discover the power of biochar!
Biochar is much more than a soil amendment—it’s a step toward sustainable living and climate action.
In this practical and inspiring workshop, you’ll learn how to create biochar sustainably and easily using a Moxham and a single-barrel technique. Biochar is a carbon-rich material that not only enhances soil fertility but also contributes to carbon storage, making a positive impact on the climate.
Please also take a look at our projects “Biochar” and “Moxham burner” to get more information about the benefits and efficiency of making Biochar.
