Biochar inoculated with our liquid Grow Microbes ™

Unlock the power of enriched biochar for exceptional soil health and plant vitality! Our Biochar inoculated with our liquid Grow Microbes ™ combines the remarkable properties of biochar with a carefully selected blend of microorganisms to create a high-impact soil amendment. The porous structure of biochar not only improves soil aeration and moisture retention but also provides an ideal habitat for beneficial microbes, offering them shelter and a stable supply of nutrients. This synergy creates a resilient, healthy microbial community that supports nutrient cycling, encourages robust root development, and fosters stronger, healthier plants.

Biochar’s vast surface area and moisture-retentive qualities make it a long-lasting, reliable home for microorganisms, allowing them to thrive and multiply in the soil. As these microbes break down organic matter, they steadily release essential nutrients in plant-accessible forms, effectively enhancing soil fertility over time. Biochar's carbon-rich composition also helps lock nutrients into the root zone, reducing nutrient loss and creating a nutrient-rich environment. Together, biochar and its microbial allies enrich soil health, support resilient plant growth, and reduce the need for added fertilisers—making this blend an ideal solution for sustainable, productive gardening and farming.

Our biochar is EBC-certified, ensuring our products are safe, effective, and environmentally responsible. You can find out more about what EBC-certification means here.

Key Features

Enhanced Soil Structure & Moisture Retention - Biochar’s unique porous structure helps retain water and improves soil aeration, ensuring plants have access to the water and oxygen they need.

Boosts Nutrient Availability - Beneficial microorganisms work in synergy with biochar to break down organic material, making essential nutrients more accessible to plants.

Promotes Root Health & Growth - By supporting a thriving microbial environment, enriched biochar strengthens roots, helping plants develop a robust foundation.

Reduces Fertiliser Needs - With improved nutrient retention and release, biochar-enriched soil requires less frequent fertilisation, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution.

Application

Mixing Ratio: For best results, blend 10-20% of enriched biochar by volume with your soil or compost. This concentration provides the ideal balance to improve soil structure, enhance nutrient retention, and support both microbial activity and plant health without overwhelming the soil. The added microorganisms will thrive in this ratio, creating a healthy, balanced soil ecosystem.

Application Depth: Biochar with beneficial microorganisms is most effective when applied near the plant root zone, where it can immediately enhance root access to moisture, nutrients, and microbial support. For new plantings, blend the biochar directly into the planting hole at root depth. For established plants, apply as a top-dressing layer around the plant base. Regular watering and natural soil processes will gradually move the biochar into the root zone, allowing its benefits to reach the plants’ roots over time.

Root Zone Application: When applying enriched biochar around root areas, maintain a concentration of 10-20% by volume to provide an optimal environment for both roots and microbial communities to flourish.

Watering Guidance: After applying biochar with microorganisms, water the soil lightly to activate and integrate the biochar into the soil structure. This initial watering helps the biochar retain moisture and supports microbial activation, promoting immediate benefits to soil and plant health. Avoid overwatering, as excessive water can cause nutrient leaching, which could reduce the effectiveness of both the biochar and its microbial partners.
