Soil Reef 100% PURE Biochar is a premium wood-based char product produced via a pyrolysis process technology. APPLICATIONS: For use as a soil amendment, it is best to inoculate or priming it, so that it is adding to the total nutrient quotient of the soil. HOW TO USE: The easiest way to inoculate is to blend Soil Reef’s PURE Biochar with a quality compost in a 50/50 ratio, then let it age for at least two weeks under cover. Next, spread 1/2″ – 1″ of this mixture over the soil and till it in 5” deep. For bushes, trees or potting medium for houseplants, use about 10-20% biochar mixture for your total volume. We recommend using 5% by volume of this blended pure biochar. A one cu ft bag covers up to 48 sq ft of garden space when tilled into the first 2 inches of soil. Alternatively, use the Soil Reef’s Gardeners Blend which is pre-inoculated and ready-to-use out of the bag. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS: Biochar promotes absorption of fertilizer, heavy metals and other toxins to prevent soil degradation and in turn minimizes pollution to waterways and airways. IN AGRICULTURAL USE: Biochar provides a healthy living soil environment, promoting more vibrant plant growth. It holds moisture, retains nutrients and fertilizer items longer, and holds onto other items required to enhance plant growth. As a result, less watering and less fertilizer is needed in the soil. COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: PURE biochar is beneficial for use as an ingredient in many environmental, commercial and industrial applications. THE “SOIL REEF” CONNECTION: Biochar behaves just like a coral reef in the ocean is the basis for so much marine life and vibrance in the ocean. In a soil application, once blended, the many pores in biochar act as a healthy living soil environment. This living soil environment is the essential key to a healthier soil. We caution against the use of chemical fertilizers, which can interfere with this living soil environment.
BIOCHAR: Soil Reef PURE organic biochar is a premium quality 100% biochar sourced from feedstock that is sustainably produced from Pennsylvania forest residual Hard Wood. Soil Reef biochar is a premium biochar, with a Carbon Ratio of 82%+ and can be used in in a range of environmental, commercial, and agricultural applications
SOIL USE: Like our Soil Reef Gardener’s Blend Biochar, pure biochar holds onto nutrients in the soil. However, Soil Reef 100% PURE Biochar typically needs to be inoculated or blended before use as a soil conditioner
HOW TO BLEND: Before use, mix Soil Reef 100% PURE Biochar with quality compost in a 50/50 ratio and let it age for at least two weeks under cover. The blend is important to provide a healthy living soil environment. This doubles the amended biochar to be applied
HOW TO APPLY (AFTER BLENDING): Once the pure biochar has been mixed with compost and rested for at least 2 weeks, spread 1/2″ – 1″ of this mixture over your soil and till it in 5” deep. For more application detail, see product description
TECHNICAL NOTE: Soil Reef PURE Biochar improves the soil’s ability to hold positively charged nutrients (cations) such as potassium and calcium. This process retains many plant nutrients on the soil surface, thereby preventing them from being washed away after heavy rainfall events – reducing leaching of fertilizers, agrochemicals, and nutrients
COMMERCIAL TYPE USES: Our PURE biochar can be applied in environmental remediation, offsets, building material, “engineered” composites and filtration to name a few. These applications can get complex and may require a biochar with certain carbon properties.
