Glad Justin introduced us to you Pete, you're a wealth of knowledge and I love that you're excited to share with us! I'm in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan so about as different of a climate as possible from you, but being pure sand overlooking the big lake there's also a lot of things that are similar. I'm looking forward to reworking a few acres around my house into a food forest over the next few years so keep the great info coming, we appreciate it!

Hi Pete. This is the best explanation of the reason for using biochar that I've seen. I am a small-scale backyard gardener in Missouri who was introduced to biochar a couple years back. I didn't follow through with it because it seemed to be too time consuming to be beneficial for someone at my scale. Watching this video has brought it back to life for me though. I'm going to give it a try and see what kind of results I get. Thank you for all the videos. I hope you don't stop videos just because your challenge with Justin is up today, Friday the 21st. You have so much information to share and it looks like a lot of people are "digging" your wealth of knowledge. God bless you and your staff for all that you do.

My method of biochar requires no special equipment and very little time. I simply selectively rake the coals out of my burn pile and douse in water, I have to burn the pile anyway it only take a few minutes extra 5 or 6 times as the pile burns down to harvest a barrel of char. The pile is made of all sorts of prunings (aka. brush) accumulated from months of normal yard maint., from leaves to medium size limbs. After that you can "charge" it a number of ways. I don't worry about crushing it fine, time will tend to do that.

Another fabulous heart felt informative video . I have to laugh because my Scan wood stove makes 2/3 rds wood ashes I use in the compost for the minerals and 1/3 biochar, as a natural by product of heating my house. It almost makes me appreciate our long Idaho winter's! I put the activated biochar in the garden last fall and the garlic is much bigger than others in my area. Thanks for the wonderful videos!

Best way I have found to charge bio char is to mix it with the compost pile and let it compost . The bio char doesn't break down, but it does charge. Use with reckless abandon.

When my old truck ran on wood gas I was making this and never knew it! No wonder the garden grew so well. Soil here is not sandy but rocky. However after 30 years of mulching I have 6 inches of amazing topsoil. Must have burned many tons of wood driving a wood gas truck 20 years.

Would like to get the design plans/sketches for your Kiln. Also if you can be more specific on how YOU charge you Biochar? Would like to try and replicate it here in South Africa - we do not have big companies who we can order this from. I know you are busy, so maybe save this for a future video...? Thanks again for the effort you put in. This so valuable for us mere mortals!

Hey Pete, Can I use biochar for any edible plants i.e. fruits, berries, veggies, alkaline or acid loving plants? Do you know of any plants that don't do well with it? I have a ton of biochar from an infested tree burn and had fun mixing it with manure, fish fertilizer and leftover beer. I feel like a kid again making mud pies in the yard. Oh and my veggies grown in it in my clay soil are much bigger. The Palouse farmers burn their fields up here and you can see the dark, chocolate cake looking soil.Thanks, Love your channel!

Hi Pete! : ) This is such awesome news and beautiful soil. Question- What are the benefits to putting biochar on golf courses or stadiums? Is it a "greener" way to maintain the fields? I was thinking it was good for growing food or food forests... just not sure why they would spend the extra money.. just curious. Yes, Keep the videos coming. I have learned so much. I have been away so I have many videos to catch up on and looking forward to watching them!
@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL

C C hello! Ok I should just make a video on this topic, but I'll give you the short and sweet. A chemical treated yard has no biology or organic matter typically. The biochar is applied as live biology to feed the grass and lock up compost tea and organic nutrients applied. These greens have been nuked from all the chemicals and need some type of organic matter to rebuild the soil. With organic agriculture we are feeding the soil and microbes, synthetics can be sucked up like a soda through a straw.
