    I just discovered this video, and it's exactly what I was looking for. So many gardening videos show "how to use biochar" and assure me that "it's easy to make - just burn wood without oxygen". But this video takes us through an actual hands-on demonstration. Thank you for being both informative and realistic/pragmatic.

  • @ushakota44
    @ushakota44 2 роки тому +15

    I was impressed at the preparation for burning wood to making a biochar. We do it unknowingly every time , here in India .we cut huge branches of trees from our own backyards and leave them in open area, for someone to pick them up for firewood or burn them there, My neighbour cooks food, boils water for bathing etc etc.. over a fire from logs of wood and douses it after use. She brooms out the ash and the charcoal pieces into her trees. No wonder her trees are so healthy. For us it is an age old practice to cook food over fire from organic matter, supposed to be the most healthy way of cooking. Very impressive way of capturing the essence of living! Thank you for a wonderful presentation and stupendous photography. All I did was to ask my neighbour to give me the charcoal pieces left over from her firewood 🙂

    • @heithheithinson2495
      @heithheithinson2495 5 місяців тому +1

      Cooking over a fire isn’t necessarily healthier than doing the same thing in a stove, it’s just that cooking over an open fire around your family and friends just feels better which can be significant on its own.

    Back in Byrril Creek, We used Bamboo. Some of our neighbours, had overgrown bamboo. We would "get rid" of It for them for free and get a lot of material. Then Same process as yours. Crush it like we Pound Yam back in West Africa, a whole work out 😂.
    Put in the chicken coop, compost, Korean Farming prep, vermicompost.We even tried in the biodynamic prep.
    Everybody was happy AF.

    It is not well understood that horticulture is a science, But your videos, David, clearly articulate this fact in such an enchanting and inspiring way. Like you I am deeply into working WIITH the natural world and always looking at ways to harmonize my garden exploits for a mutual benefit. I have been retaining my garden prunings for the last 6 months or so. with the intent of making biochar. Now, your tutorial has clearly shown me all the why, the how, and greatly expanded my knowledge over and above what I had previously sourced. I have tasked myself to refurbish a raised vegie patch -7 sqr metres - which used to dry out REALLY FAST ,as it was mainly made with my home made compost, mixed with organic supplements, straw, vermicast etc. I added a liquid clay slurry to the bed ,which added mineral nutrient and helped a fair bit with moisture retention, but I look forward to forking holes into my now "NO DIG" bed - retaining soil biota structure- and adding the actvated biochar. This amendment should greatly enhance my first no dig bed, and once I water the biochar into the forked holes, hopefully no need to future "dig it over"! Cheers and thank you for your brilliantly produced videos. Wishing you continued health and happiness.

      Yeah. Once I understood what it was and how it happens, I thought the same. Weedy is a simple dude. Just a tip, keep the wood small and same size, and keep feeding it while it is flaming and as hot aaas🔥 that way you will get the best product. Some of the first chunks of wood I used where a bit big, and I waited too long between feeds 👍🏼

    Dear Mr. Weedy...first, a thank you for renewing my hope in many things. In short, I've been at this Permaculture journey for the last three years. I retired from regular work at 49 and began our journey on 40 acres in Southwest Colorado in the mountains. It has been a difficult but rewarding journey. Last year, however, I got Covid...twice. I have been discouraged and tired and tired and discouraged until I watched your videos. It has taken so much energy to get where we are...digging and swaling, crawling and sweating and overall just trying. Some people would say we have great success but I mostly see what more we need to do and worried that with my decreased capacity, we wont get to it. HOWEVER, there are so many things I can still do while healing that are low impact and those things are to work on our soil. Thank you again for the wonderful detail. We have good soil once you learn dry farming indigenous techniques, but its not GREAT soil and now my focus this next year will be making Great soil using techniques from all over the world...

    Biochar is useful in so many ways, permanent carbon, aeration, water retention, nutrient retention and microbe housing. It’s done wonders in my garden and potted citrus trees. I inoculate, charge it in my worm bins, hot compost and I have a couple buckets with holes in the bottom around my yard that I pee in. After I pee in a bucket for a while and know it’s got a good nitrogen charge I toss it into my compost for the microbes to move in. Great video as always 👍

    I've been buying lump charcoal by the 50# bag at Sam's, but it's a huge, backbreaking chore to smash it all down and sift it. Yesterday, I got the bright idea to run it through my electric wood chipper. The result was pieces about 1/4" to 3/8" in size, which is perfect for my tastes. I learned three things: 1) Don't do this if you are sweating. 2) Do this BEFORE you shower. 3) Use clothes you plan on throwing away, or do it naked. I'm also going to have to hose the chipper down, but this only took me 45 minutes, as opposed to 5-8 hours. so it's worth it.

    The most difficult task in making biochar is crushing down to the appropriate size. 1/2 inch pieces are too large. They float to the top of the soil and act like gravel in sand loam.
    Char needs to be ground into pieces 1/4 inch or smaller.
    I have found that a standard garden waste shredder with a spinning blade fractures char into a perfect size. By controlling the moisture level, you can reduce dust.
    It is much faster and easier than crushing by hand.

      I am sure it is. A cement mixer with a btick in it would also work
