It’s packed full of nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium that plants need to thrive. The material itself is highly porous and aids in water retention and nutrient cycling within the soil. This means it helps keep moisture in the soil longer, reducing the need for frequent watering. Additionally, it increases aeration of the soil allowing for better root growth and healthier plants overall. Plus, as an added bonus, enriched biochar does wonders to reduce nutrient runoff into waterways which helps keep our planet healthy too.
