Earthshine Biochar Blend

Biochar acts like a microscopic sponge within your soil. Its porous structure creates a permanent home for beneficial microbes while simultaneously holding onto water and nutrients, preventing them from washing away during heavy rain or irrigation.

It works perfectly in both. For containers, it helps combat the rapid nutrient leaching that often happens in potting mixes, while in raised beds, it helps rebuild soil structure that has compacted over time.

For best results, mix the blend into the top 3 to 6 inches of your soil before planting. If you are working with established plants, you can gently scratch it into the surface around the root zone and water it in thoroughly.

While it provides a nutrient boost through soybean meal and worm castings, it is primarily a soil conditioner rather than a direct fertilizer replacement. It optimizes your soil's ability to hold and deliver nutrients, which often allows you to reduce your overall fertilizer frequency.

Humic acid acts as a chelator, meaning it binds to nutrients in the soil and makes them more bioavailable for your plants to absorb. This helps ensure your plants get the most out of both the organic matter in this blend and any other fertilizers you apply.

When added to your compost tea brew, the biochar provides a massive surface area for beneficial bacteria and fungi to colonize and multiply. This results in a more potent, microbe-rich tea that is more effective when applied to your garden.
