Big Biochar experiment

Would you like to receive a sample of  the soil enhancer Biochar and take part in a ground breaking experiment?

Oxford Biochar is pioneering the first large-scale experiment on the use of biochar on British allotments and gardens. It aims to gather quantitative data on above- and below-ground productivity, and qualitative data on plant and soil health of widely used fruit and vegetable varieties in Britain. These data, combined with existing information on weather and soil quality, will be used to assess the effects of biochar on the productivity of soils across Britain. http://oxfordbiochar.com/

Research on biochar is still in its infancy: the long term benefits of Biochar on the Amazonian Terra Preta soils is well documented, but long-term studies on European soils are only beginning.  The Big Biochar Experiment aims to quantify the effects of biochar application on British soils.

There are a limited number of free Biochare samples available so please check out what is involved and apply by visiting:  http://www.bigbiocharexperiment.co.uk/get-started.html

I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden. Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces. My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable. The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
