Greetings, fellow Biochar pioneers! We hope the cold season was filled with joyful feasts and cherished moments with loved ones. As the festivities recede, many find solace in the quietude of the garden. Perhaps you’re harvesting winter greens, remnants of last year’s dedication, or simply seeking a moment of peace amidst the frosty landscape.
Taking Stock and Preparing the Ground:
This is the perfect time to assess your garden’s slumbering potential. Did you embrace green manures this winter? If so, their nutrient bounty awaits! Dig them in now, alongside a sprinkle of Biochar. This “little and often” approach unlocks the potent nutrients, ensuring they nourish your future plantings.
For empty beds, don’t let bareness prevail! Nature will fill the void, but not necessarily with your desired bounty. To avoid future battles with unwanted foliage, take action now. Adding a thick layer of manure mulch atop cardboard (minus tape and labels) is a fantastic start.
But wait, precious nutrients can leach away with the rains. This is where Biochar triumphs! Sprinkle some beneath the cardboard to capture and hold those nutrient treasures, giving your future crops the best possible head start.
Biochar: A Century-Long Investment:
Whether you choose mypex, plastic, or other mulching materials, remember the Biochar sprinkle! Preta Carbon recommends 15% (1 in 6 wheelbarrows) of your organic matter. Don’t worry if you have less, just apply what you can, but remember – too much can lead to soil alkalization.
One remarkable aspect of Biochar is that it is a generational investment! This stable wonder integrates seamlessly with your soil web, acting as a nutrient haven, water sponge, aerator, and microbial haven. While its magic takes time to fully unfold, each application builds upon the last, exponentially increasing your soil’s fertility.
