Biochar Supreme is made by pyrolyzing 100% clean, unprocessed wood waste.
"What is pyrolyzing?" you ask? Pyrolysis means "decomposition with heat" and it is as simple as baking the material in an oven in the absence of oxygen. The baking process releases flammable gasses that provide heat energy. In essence, we’re producing an amazing soil amendment that stores stable carbon in the soil while producing clean, emissions-free energy for the Washington State energy grid.
Biochar yields bigger and better crops.
In a world where food security is a serious issue, biochar has been proven to boost crop yields substantially. Major research centers around the world, including the USDA Agricultural Research Service and top institutions like Cornell University and Iowa State University, are confirming the benefits of biochar. Our own research trials have shown a 20-200% increase in yields using Biochar Supreme.
Biochar Supreme has positively charged ions that attract fertilizers and nutrient minerals such as Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus. This attractiveness (called "cation exchange capacity" or CEC) keeps nutrients in the plant root zone, preventing them from leaching out with watering. CEC also helps make the nutrients bioavailable to the plants. Ultimately, with Biochar Supreme in your soil, you need less fertilizer or compost for the same results. Along with your crops, you'll harvest savings in fertilizer costs, year after year.
