    Nice information! I have used leaves in my in ground garden for many years with excellent success. Traditionally, I have spread them 6" - 8" deep over the garden in the fall after garden cleanup. In the spring I till them in. Works really good. However, now I'm saving them in covered bins (to keep them dry). I plant a fall cover crop and mow it in the spring prior to tilling, then I spread the leaves out between plants and in the walkways for weed control (dry leaves are easier to handle & spread). This REALLY helps with our grassy weed problem. By fall, they're largely broken down by clean-up time. Adds way more humus that leads to nice vegetables.

    This is super-interesting, but also really complex 😳😅… I already use bought Effective Microorganisms and charcoal. My self made lab brew unfortunately got bad… 🤷‍♀️ I wonder if I need this in our climate 🤔… the garden has been abandoned for over 30 Years and nature took over… it’s just my second gardening year and I create my beds similar like you, with collected material from everywhere, especially with the mounts of chopped blackberries and nettles that grow abundant here… We have super rich soil which is usually pretty moist, even in this super long & hot summer it has never been bone dry, I already have fungi growing everywhere in my beds…

    • @GrowingwiththeGriffins

      It is really complex for sure. If you’re just getting into this stuff I’d say start with JADAM Microbial Solution! It is a lot easier (in my experience at least) to get that going consistently. Serves a similar function to IMO in inoculating your soil with soil microbes.

    2:19 afaik that's not true, the porosity already exists because of the cellular structure of the wood. It's just that the water turned into steam expands and helps break some microscopic canals that otherwise would be closed, for some time, because when you crush the biochar you do about the same but on a much larger scale. So water per se isn't a big deal, it's just that you need to quench the fire anyway.

    • @GrowingwiththeGriffins
      @GrowingwiththeGriffins Місяць тому

      As long as it’s been charged you should be fine if it dries out. Microbes will go dormant in the absence of moisture. Charcoal also retains water very well. So even if it appears to have dried out, if it’s properly charged, it should retain its microbial activity.
