Biochar has been used for centuries to improve soil health and fertility, and today, it is gaining popularity as a way to sequester carbon and slow climate change. But what is biochar? Simply put, it is charcoal that is made from biomass—such as wood —that has been burned in a low-oxygen environment. This process creates a porous, spongelike material that can be used as a soil amendment.

How can biochar be used in landscaping
Biochar has numerous benefits that make it an ideal soil amendment for landscaping applications. First and foremost among these benefits is its ability to improve soil health. Biochar helps to aerate compacted soils and improve drainage while also retaining nutrients and moisture. This results in healthier plants with better yields.
Biochar also has the added benefit of sequestering carbon dioxide. As plants grow, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Some of this carbon is then released back into the atmosphere when the plants die and decompose. However, when biochar is added to the soil, it acts like a sponge, soaking up this released carbon dioxide and storing it in the ground. This not only helps to slow climate change but also improves the long-term fertility of the soil.
