Join us for a modern twist on the ancient technique of improving soil with charred wood, or Bio-Char. Learn the “new” technique Organic gardeners and Permaculturists the world over are finally catching on to. We will review the history, science, and modern methodology. Each participant will receive a course guide with an overview of the presentation and detailed explanations on how to build their own device. By the end of this workshop you will understand how Bio-Char is made and how it can improve the health of your soil for decades to come.

Participants will gain a historical and scientific understanding of what Biochar is, how it is made sustainably, and how it can be used to improve soil ecology. There will also be a course guide that comes with schematics as well as resources for obtaining the materials necessary to build such a device.
