Watch the whole day of the recent Biochar Workshop led by Bob Wells, soil scientist Jon Nilsson and Patryk Battle. Learn how to make biochar and its many beneficial uses including greatly enhancing soil life and fertility. Discover innovative ways to maximize its uses for dynamically carbon negative farming and gardening.
Biocharcoal Agriculture must be new era of farming (the knowledge of the benefits regarding charcoal enhaced soil have being sleep for a long time now since the indian left in Amazonas)
how many times did you have to refill the feed wood for the 30 gal to finish?
how do you go about inoculating your biochar?
so you said ask you after 4 years whether the business is profitable or not. What's the verdict?
How did they make it and do they have plans or do they sell the machine.
So… Could you make a compostable diaper with this stuff??? I'm doing cloth diapers with my daughter and there has GOT to be a better way.
Thanks for a great series of videos. Very inspiring and helpful.
How is it activated for human consumtion what is the process? Is it differant for internal and external use

Biochar Workshop Part 4, The Biochar Facility
So if this char is absorbing so much it would seem to me that eating it would absorb nutrients from the body? Am I wrong?
If can tell where you failed and why then maybe someone else can improve it.
I am still to understand the path of the hot gasses which heats up the pyrolisis chamber
IS it ok to take activated charcoal daily?
Char that albino squirrel in the maple tree behind you.
Hi, you were talking about the insulated chamber and how the outside could be touched but was still at 150f. Could you surround it with a water jacket and transfer some of the waste heat into preheated water before you heat the water in the existing heat exchangers?
1) Could this be sold to factory farms to absorb their biologic run off? To add the "biology" to the char.
2) have you ever considered atolls to add biology to the char before selling? After initial step, it is mostly free, just converting air into plant.
Now I know what those chunks of mesquite in my smoker are turning into. Was always curious how they became black and glassy.
I was listening to a podcast recently and the panelist stated that ''biochar is a great home for microbes'' but went on to say that when analysis of the soil was made with a microscope,he found that most of the microbes had moved away from the plant and into the biochar and has gone on to state that ''biochar is detrimental to plant health''.
Leighton Morrison is the guys name behind the experiments. (He's been working with soil for decades)
Its a good tooth wnhitner * cleaner
So all those " condensable gases" that you condense and put in plastic totes, what do you do with them?
if your system was 100% efficient, would it still be profitable figuring the energies it took to make and assemble the steel, facilities and control system? what then is payback period?
Hi, do you know the ration between amount of wood require be gasifier and the amount of biochar produced is in burn?
What sort of machines do you use to process the biochar into small particles
i'm thinking of building a smaller version of something like this to turn garden green waste to char.
If you have not already would you have blueprints for sale and if so how much?
Late to the party, but great stuff. Felt the need to comment on the snakeskin draped over the closed valve; hence, a skull and crossbones warning because the circuit is not yet in use.
I have a chicken composting system that I was thinking about adding biochar to, but I could add it to their coop. Then when I clean the coop it will go into their compost and already be partially charged.
loving this! a big hello from a small scale biochar enthusiast from wales. thanks for so much detail and the gentle pace of the film, really nice
The reason that viruses have become an issue and will continue increasingly to be an issue is the fact that the environment is becoming increasingly anaerobic because of many factors including excessive combustion. This is not the time for business as usual. Sorry to feel the need to mention it. Good luck to all of us.
