Fire Up Your Fertility: DIY Biochar Made Simple

Join Elliott Toevs of ECHO Global Farms and NCAT’s Gabriella Soto-Vélez for a practical deep dive into biochar. You’ll see exactly how to gather low-cost biomass, assemble a compact kiln, and fire it for a clean, efficient burn that locks carbon in place. We’ll walk through quenching, inoculating the fresh char with compost or liquid nutrients, and applying it at the right rates to boost soil structure, water-holding capacity, and microbial life. After the filmed demonstration we’ll open the floor for live Q&A, so you leave confident to try it on your own farm or garden.
