Geoff’s Simple Method for Making Biochar 🔥 Biochar is a beneficial soil amendment that goes through a process called pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is a process that involves the decomposition of organic materials at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. After pyrolysis, we get a black biomass without oils or combustible materials. We crush it into powder, sieve it carefully, and get a fine, consistent biochar. When added to soil, biochar improves its structure, acts as a sponge for nutrients, creates habitat for beneficial soil organisms, and helps reduce greenhouse gases by stabilizing carbon in the soil. #permaculture #discoverpermaculture #charcoal #biochar #fertilizer #organicfertilizer #soil #soilhealth #livingsoil #soilfoodweb #gardensoil #howtomake #diy #sustainability #organicgardening #growyourown

Earthworms are gardeners’ best friends as they reside in the soil and feed on decomposing organic matter, which leads to the growth of beneficial soil bacteria. If you notice a large population of earthworms in your garden, it indicates a healthy soil ecosystem. Adding compost worm castings or liquid can further enhance the soil quality and promote the growth of nutrient-dense food.

Geoff has special plants in his garden that help other plants grow better. He calls them his “support crew” or “support species.” These plants are nitrogen-fixing legumes planted in between his garden beds. Legumes are really good at taking nitrogen from the air and putting it in the soil, which helps other plants around them grow strong and healthy. Geoff strategically pollards these legumes when there is more rainfall than evaporation, creating more space for the sun and rain to reach the new food crops. The cut growth is left on the ground to break down and further enrich the soil. #permaculture #discoverpermaculture #lucena #icecreambean #tipuanatipu #pollard #chopanddrop #nitrogenfixing #supportspecies #legumes #soil #buildsoil #garden #gardening #gardeningtips #organicgardening #fertilizer #plantgrowth #mygarden #growyourfood #regenerativeagriculture #sustainableagriculture
