What is biochar?
Biochar is a carbon-rich, charcoal-like substance made from organic materials through a process called pyrolysis.
This process involves heating biomass, such as wood waste, in a low-oxygen environment, transforming it into a highly porous material with remarkable benefits for soil and the environment.
When added to soil, biochar improves water retention, enhances nutrient availability, and supports a thriving microbiome, creating the perfect conditions for healthy plant growth. But that’s not all—biochar also locks carbon into the ground, helping to reduce greenhouse gases and combat climate change.
Sustainable, versatile, and incredibly effective, biochar is the future of soil health and environmental sustainability.
Why You Need Biochar
Our innovative biochar enriches your soil, boosts plant growth, and retains water, all while locking carbon into the ground to combat climate change.
A sustainable solution for thriving gardens and a healthier planet.

Our Process
1
Woodchip
Wood waste is sourced from local forestry or tree surgeon’s in the North Lincolnshire area. We only use wood which is waste, we don’t believe in chopping down healthy trees to make our biochar.
2
Heating
Biochar is made by heating waste wood to temperatures of 900°C in our custom-built gasification chamber. Leaving us with up to 90% carbon rich biochar.
3
Packaged
Once our woodchip has been transformed into biochar we then scoop it into our recyclable pouches and send them to you to transform your gardens and plants!

What exactly is biochar?Biochar is a carbon-rich material made by heating organic biomass without oxygen, this process is called pyrolysis and occurs at temperatures from 300-1000°C.

Is biochar better than fertiliser?Biochar is not a fertiliser, it is a soil improver. It improves the soil by retaining moisture, preventing nutrient leaching, providing a home for microbial activity and can improve drainage. Biochar keeps nutrients in the soil so it can reduce fertiliser requirements. As a result, fertilisation costs are minimised and fertiliser nutrients are retained in the soil, instead of leaking out with water as it flows through the soil.
