The Big Biochar Experiment...

We all know the world is changing and climatic change is ever increasingly in the news but what do we need to do to survive the changes including climatic change ?

We all know CO2 is a potent greenhouse gas and one that we need to reduce in significant amounts to help re balance the planet. We also know that we need to plant many more trees to help sequestrate CO2 but that is a long term solution to an urgent present day problem. One way currently getting scientists excited is the production of Biochar.

Now I am not going to try to explain the thinking behind this when there are so many more eminent people around the world who are making the case for this "miracle cure"[as described by one critic] to greenhouse gasses. 

For my part in this, and it's a very, very small part but it's going to be taking part in THE BIG BIOCHAR EXPERIMENT  over the next 12 months or so.

I garden organically and also use the no dig, deep bed method of growing so I'll be taking part in this experiment and I'll be turning a full deep bed over to this experiment. I will keep updating this page with my thoughts and pictures as the experiment in my garden progresses but to say I'm well excited is an under statement.
