Indeed it was me that was leading VC astray with all this talk of tree types & their uses
mayhap we could build a charcoal pit in the wood & pollard some hazel so as you can have your own carbon supply so as to get your plants the best start every year 
See how I got it back on track there

Now I know I am only a simple plumber type chap, but I am still trying to work out how a tonne of biochar can lock away 3 tonnes of CO2 and still weigh............ just a tonne.

No rusty it is just a modern "spin" on an old idea,as are many "modern ideas",carbon in any form used as a soil additive has been around for quite some timeOriginally posted by rustylady View PostHe who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame

Basic question from the newbie.
How exactly does this vary from putting the grate scrapings from awoodburning stove onto my garden? My colleague can give me loads of those for free!Quanti canicula ille in fenestra ?Comment

Good point to raise and nice to see a constructive post!
The O2 adds 2 parts mass to 1 part C, making CO2 weigh 3X C. This is just the start though as you also cut emissions when the charcoal improves soil structure and avoids methane and nitrous oxide.
Less fertilisers means less emissions from their fossil-fuel-based manufacture and shipping. Plus the more productive soil runs more photosynthesis than before, so you get more biomass as future food, forests and biochar!

Just to put the record straight - I'm not knocking biochar - just trying to understand the process. How input relates to output and so on. All the science speak is beyond me.
I garden organically, don't use artificial or manufactured fertilisers but I do have some woodland. So visualising a tree and how it can be transformed into biochar is the way that makes sense to me. I am but a simple soul

You have to burn it long and slow though and you're not thinking of doing that to lovely trees, are you?
