Biochar in substrate for horticulture can encourage health growth, increasing yields and disease resistance in high-value plants.

The presence of biochar in the growing medium promotes microbial life, which maintains nutrients and moisture beneficial to growth, and can reduce the requirement of organic or inorganic fertilisers.

Biochar is increasing in popularity with commercial and private growers as an effective and sustainable way to improve results.

Benefits for Horticulture

  • Enhanced Water Retention

    Biochar's porous nature and large surface area helps soils to retain water and promotes healthy plant and crop growth.

  • 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.

  • Environmental Resilience

    Incorporating biochar in your Horticulture project can help reduce the rate of crop death, reduce fertilizer requirements and improve the efficiency of irrigation systems.

  • Reduced fertilizer need

    The addition of biochar to soils helps to improve overall soil structure and porosity, reducing the long-term need for harmful chemical fertilisers.
