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.
Biochar & Terrapreta is modern gold

And the black earth in Ukraine that BlackRock will own if they win the war.
full of misinformation. and end result is: we don't know how to make Terra Preta yet.

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 🙂
human remains are the key ingredient. all the "scary sacrifices" we were all told about....made good soil.
This was enlightening, thank you!
Can’t do it, it’s the narration
Lyme.... Good for acid soil. And in powder form, the outhouse,.. couple small cups. Each use. No smell no flies.
Well done, thank you!

Glyphosate and fertilizer in the same sentence, really? two different subjects

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.
you don't pronounce humus like that chickpea spread for your pita bread 😂

You literally flush them in a week. Most drugs are organic and dilute in water. Solution: when on medication prepare/use a separate waste bucket marked biohazard.

Get yourself a rabbit or chicken for manure. Rabbit if you only care about the manure and don’t need much maintenance. Chickens if you want some eggs with it too

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.

Quite good, - but another "straw-hat" production. You do not answer the question you are putting; "What is Terra Preta". A lot of "blah, blah, blah" ... typical ... sorry, but you need critics to come up with something that is 2 - 3 minutes, efficient and "al grano" ... Good Luck!

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.
