Come and join us for this practical workshop where you will learn the history and theory of this ancient practice - and how to make your own, simply and inexpensively from waste wood.
Biochar is a wonderful soil enhancer that traps carbon, retains water and increases soil biodiversity, whilst at the same time releasing nutrients from the soil.

Course Content:

​History and theory of Biochar
Why we need it today.

​Participants will leave with some charcoal to experiment with and a micro-kiln container to make some more at home - and the information to make on a large scale if they wish.
