Description
The Biochar Handbook offers a comprehensive look at the principles and practices of biochar, a simple yet effective means of restoring degraded soils and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. With extensive research and real-world examples, Kelpie Wilson demonstrates that biochar can be used to reduce wildfire risks, restore soil carbon, manage manure, and produce high-quality compost.
This practical guide includes step-by-step instructions for making biochar at home, as well as inspiring examples of ecosystem restoration and improved forest management. You'll also find low-cost recipes for using biochar in gardening and agriculture, including Cultured Biochar and Sustainable Potting Soil.
