What are the Benefits of Bio Char? When Bio Char is put in the soil, it reduces carbon emissions by sequestering carbon, increases the number of beneficial soil microbes and soil fertility, and improves water retention, to name a few benefits.
The workshop will include a class on the process and benefits, plus we will be doing a burn with waste wood to make charcoal (Bio Char) in a pit in the ground at Strawbale Studio.
