  • Yep, I'm going to try to keep the trial going until they're planted in their final positions in the greenhouse. It'll be a bit difficult to give them identical treatment by moving them around at that point.

      Is there any difference in what its made from and contains?

      • I don't think so, but there's a chance that the plant material which was charred was different. I just wanted to be clear

                • So what are they made from?

                  It'd be like saying every plant is as useful as comfrey at bringing minerals up.

                  • Here's another article about Biochar and a link, at the bottom to tests being carried out at the Centre for Alternative Technology on crop yields and tree growth. Biochar at the Centre for Alternative Technology: business opportunity for small woodland owners or climate change solution | Woodlands.co.uk
                    Bear in mind that The Woodlands article is written for owners of woods and how they can benefit from them (if, as it says, a proven market for biochar can be found).
