Description

Five Gallon Pail of Genesis Biochar organic soil conditioner.
Genesis Biochar is FDA Organic Certified Horticultural Charcoal. Biochar is used as a soil amendment for both carbon sequestration and as a long term soil conditioner. It is a stable solid, rich in carbon, and can endure in soil for thousands of years.
When Genesis Biochar is added to your soil it is like populating it with huge mansions with empty rooms. Each mansion would have a loud speaker out front addressing all the life and good things in your soil. The message would say: Welcome! There are millions of rooms available. You can have a safe and permanent home hear.
Genesis Biochar is a member of the
International Biochar Initiative
and
US Biochar Initiative.
How To Use Genesis Biochar
Evaluating the condition of your soil is our recommend first step. Getting your soil lab tested is the only sure way to identify what your soil needs but observation can often be just as important. If your soil just needs long term conditioning then you can mix Genesis Biochar directly into your soil at a ratio of 5% to 10% to a depth below the root zone.
If your soil looks more like the surface of the moon than a black carbon rich soil, your application strategy may need to be more aggressive. Consider amending your soil with a mixture of 20% to 50% Genesis Biochar with compost and/or other amendment(s). If possible, keep the mix wet for a few days and let it stabilize as long as possible before mixing it into the soil. This will allow the amendments time to populate or“charge up” the Genesis Biochar. Mix it into the soil to a depth below the root zone. Water it well each day for a few days.
An even more effective technique is to soak your Genesis Biochar in compost tea or some other nutrient and microbial rich liquid amendments. This technique is referred to as inoculation. Inoculation charges up the Genesis Biochar thus accelerating the availability of the nutrient and microbial rich amendments to the plants. Let the mixture set a minimum of three days so it has time to stabilize. Inoculated Genesis Biochar can be mixed directly into the soil at a 5% to10% ratio or mixed with compost,other organic materials up to a 50% ratio then mixed into the soil.
Remember that the goal is to have 10% Genesis Biochar in your soil mixed it to a depth below the root zone. Make sure to water it well each day for a few days. Conditioning your soil with Genesis Biochar will help create the long term balance of carbon, nitrogen, micro-organisms and nutrients that plants need to thrive.
