    I started using/making biochar about six months ago, and so far it has been added to all my garden pots, garden bins, and other giant pots. So far I have noticed my plants create better structure in the leaves and in the main stems. The soil is healthier than before, and more worms to help grow all the bacteria to break it down.. Takes time but it is worth the wait

      Hey Jeff, how long do you inoculate your biochar? I literally made it for the first time today and was curious how long it should be in compost before using it on/near a plant.

      It's a pity not to elaborate on the missing information. Would it be water retention, reduction of labile carbon dégradation by microorganisms, mechanical reduction of lixiviation...? What's the point of such a comment without further explanation.... and not recycling information instead of putting it in the garbage.

      It's compost. It's generations of good composting practices. That's it. The magic is in the nature of the microbiome that exists when you have very healthy soil.
      Start composting.

      @@litterbox2010hey fellow composter! I think you’re probably right. It would make sense that they literally composted EVERYTHING as well which probably created a very diverse -nutrient rich soil. There’s a great book called, “Humanure” if you haven’t read it. Be well 🙂

      they are very different subjects. I don't really go into the applications of them in this video. I only really explore the negative impacts of glyphosates and chemical fertilizers which is why they are together in the same section. They could each use a dedicated video of their own.

    I am pretty sure 50,000 worms don't equal the weight of a cow, plus that's an extremely low population density.Maybe you meant 500,000 worms per acre, which is still inaccurate regarding weight comparison but closer. 2.5 minutes in and this combined with the hummus\humus pronunciation thing doesn't inspire confidence in the accuracy.

    Sorry, I can't take seriously a video about soil by someone who can't correctly pronounce "humus" and apparently doesn't know the difference between herbicide and fertilizer. Nor do I care for clicking on a video on Terra Pera and getting a sermon on the evils of the ag chemicals that are keeping us fed. Here's what I hate in general about the BS over Terra Peta and the attempts to recreate it. It completely ignores the primary problem with our understanding of soil. Soil is not "stuff". Soil is not a set of things. It is a system of interactions. No one is going to recreate Terra Preta in North America or Europe anymore than they could recreate a tropical rain forest. Terra Preta is a tropical rainforest soil based in yellow clay. Putting charcoal and fish bones in the ground in Massachusetts isn't going to create Terra Peta any more than it's going to grow up in a rainforest of mahogany and howler monkeys.
