BuildASoil Charged BioChar

Raw biochar is highly porous and will actually pull nutrients away from your soil if added directly. This product comes pre-soaked in soy aminos and microbial inoculants, which fills those pores with beneficial biology and nutrients so it starts working for your plants immediately rather than depleting them.

You can mix this directly into your potting soil or garden beds at a rate of 5-10% by volume. It acts as a permanent structural component, so you only need to add it when you are first building your soil or refreshing a container.

Yes, it is perfectly safe for both. Because it is made from repurposed wood and inoculated with beneficial microbes, it is an excellent way to improve soil structure and water retention in any growing environment.

No, do not rinse it. The 'charge'—the soy aminos and microbial inoculants—is exactly what you want to keep in the soil to jumpstart biological activity.
