Pre-mixing biochar with compost is a great way to apply to soil and maximise the benefits the biochar can offer.

The incorporation of biochar into compost improves microbial activity, accelerating decomposition and increasing nutrient availability. Biochar also helps retain moisture, ensuring the compost remains at optimal moisture levels for breakdown.

Biochar's porous structure helps promote soil aeration, supporting the growth of microbial life and enhancing healthy growth of roots, plants and trees.

Our biochar is available in our own compost mixes, or if you make compost, we offer pure biochar for you to enhance your own products.

Benefits for composting

  • Green icon for improved soil structure

    Improved Soil Structure

    Adding biochar to soil can improve aeration, reduce compaction and balance PH, helping to improve the overall soil structure around trees.

  • water drop icon

    Enhanced Water Rentention

    Biochar's porous nature and large surface area helps soils to retain water and promote healthy tree growth.

  • microbes icon

    Increased microbial life

    Through enhanced soil aeration, nutrient availability and PH balancing - biochar can help support the microbiome of soil and enhance tree growth.

  • pH and soil icon

    Reduced Soil Acidity

    Adding biochar to soils helps to balance issues surrounding soil acidity due to the alkaline nature of Biochar and its PH buffering capabilities.
