I like quenching right away with a few gallons of water with stuff like lactobacillis some fpj, some urine, molasses then I also soak it with stuff like worm castings,alfalfa, rabbit poo, rock dust, kelp, let it sit in that for about 2 weeks before using, I can tell you that whatever I add the biochar to just flourishes it out grows everything else without it. The carbon is so bennifietial to the soil along with all the npk, minerals, aminos, vitamins, biology etc the char holds all this in in pours that are everywhere the surface area is massive in one little peace. Soil found from over 1000 years ago with biochar is still very rich and fertile compared to surrounding soil, Amazon is were they first discovered it and found it to be still rich today. Terra pretta.
Scraping the bucket with that sharp metal mixer is probably putting plastic in your mix. I really love my mortar mixer paddle, it has a smooth ring around to bottom, keeps me from getting plastic shards in my drywall mud. Great video though!
I'm pretty sure that is the best biochar I've ever seen. Thanks for this video, I look forward to watching your videos in the future. I throw the whole kitchen sink into my biochar when I innoculate it.
I picked up a little compost bucket off of Amazon that has a few holes in it and I thought in my fireplace every night so little by little I get some but it's nice because the gas is burn off and I get heat in my house in a fireplace thanks for the video man
I am about to activate my first char, thanks for the video 🎉 I quench it right away and then cool in metal wheel barrel and move it to a plastic 55gal drum for storage until I soak with my biologically complete extracts. How do you feel about the anaerobic bacteria being a problem with producing nitrates to the soil? I feel in nature those would be too far down in the soil to reach any animal poo being deposited on the top layer of the soil but with us mixing stuff could we be creating a problem in nature? Should we be keeping it all aerobic if we do these things? I’m still learning but look to nature for the answers for what I should be doing 🤷♀️
Fantastic video. I've been using a 5 gallon metal bucket in my home fireplace. The last couple batches I have taken out hot to quench. But the process stinks up the house too much. I think I'll revert to leaving it in there overnight and adding water in the morning.
I used Royal Oak charcoal, crushed and filter thru 1/4” mesh. I want to put it on my clay based soil using a spreader. To get around the problem of no inoculation, I added commercial chicken manure at same time. Will this help activate the biochar once we get rain? Good or bad idea?
'Activating' is process of using superheated steam to increase surface area.. I don't think you're doing that.. Your use of activating is charging.. Can you explain?
Yeah, I agree, this video does not use easily accessible charging material, he could have done better, or change the title, Hey How Would You Like To Use Up Your Alpaca Piss To Charge Charcoal?!

what is fpj? Thank you
Fermented plant juice, check out knf( korean natural farming) @@janetjacobsen5850
Great method!

Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge and personal experience.
I put it out with my native soils. The fire can also tell me how much clay to silt and sand I have by baking it for easy separation.
I'm pretty sure that is the best biochar I've ever seen. Thanks for this video, I look forward to watching your videos in the future. I throw the whole kitchen sink into my biochar when I innoculate it.
Thanks, as I always say, what you put in is what you get out
New sub, leaving a comment to make sure it sticks. Great video
Thanks again for sharing your process it is fantastic information!
No you don't have to feed the Boi char once it's been activated.
@@NewEraGardener thank you for clarifying that!

Good idea plant garden

fantastic lol....really??//
@@francoiselemeur7325 yes really.
Uhh this is a video ahh for your average backyard biocharist. Then he pulls out a jug of Alpaca juice....
That's some good juice

It should work the same as adding it to your compost
Maybe try adding some mycorrhizal innoculants too.
How come there is no black dust all over your gloves?
Sir is it liquid biochar or there is some difference
I noticed you an most only add a small amount of extras…. Let’s say Bat Poop. Is there a down side to adding a large amount ?

this is indeed inoculating
Bro your video is like watching the guy for clear eyes
LMHO
I charcoal charcoal please
yes, bio char I love the stuff!
Too slow; talk faster; a waste of my time.
I usually increase the video speed to 1.25. This one can go up to 2.0. Lot of UHMs,,,
alpaca manure?!!!who the f..k has Alpaca animals pooping in their yard?
some of those people making videos ,i really wonder about them....
