      That means not enough oxygen or aeration. Anaerobic repiration produces those sulfurous (rotten egg) smells. If you aerate it with something like a fish tank air-pump, you'll encourage the beneficail aerobic bacteria.

    I read a story called stone soup when I was a kid. A guy comes to town and he is hungry. He has no food. He gets a villager to bring a large pot with water and puts it on the fire. Then he puts a stone I. The boiling water and invites the villagers to dinner. He stirred the pot and tasted the water. Then he made extreme yummy noises. The villagers thought he was crazy, but they grew curious. They wanted to taste it but the man refused. He would taste and then say it’s almost done but then needs onion, a villager then said, I have onions. And ran to get them, then the man tasted it and said it’s almost done but tomato would make it better and a villager ran and got tomatoes. Then the man tasted the soup and asked for sausage, then garlic, then Celery, then bay leaves, then peas until the village had added all these and more to the stone soup. Then they ate the feast.
    Then the strange little man left the village and put some of the charcoal from the fire in his pocket and went to the next town. He taught the next town how to make biochar fertilizer… he asked for manure, compost, urinate, and all good things to put on a garden. The town’s people marvels at how great biochar is.

    Most hardwood lump charcoal is not fully pyrolyzed. It burns hotter and catches fire faster when it's not. Leaving a bit in will keep you from losing all your fuel during the light up.
    Biochar, to be most effective, needs to be FULLY pyrolyzed.
    I did a test with that exact charcoal, and repyrolyzed the whole bag in my retort.
    It reduced by HALF and burned almost as long as a fresh batch. The wood is still full of volatiles.
    Best way to know if it is fully pyrolyzed, it'll sound like glass tinking together, and you can easily crumble large pieces.

    • @MichaelSmith-ku7ki
      @MichaelSmith-ku7ki ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hügelkultur is a thing though.
      Burying (preferably) rotting sticks. Till this concoction of his into the ground and make sure the soil stays moist for in a month or two and the un-pyrotized interior portion is going to be mimicking natural wood decomposition, just like normal Hügelkultur would it not?
      I'm asking.
      Do you see anything wrong with my logic here?

    Biochar by definition requires pyrolysis, you're just mixing charcoal with various organic soil amendments. I would probably keep adding urea until the charcoal is sufficiently "charged" because it would still have an extremely high CN ratio otherwise.

    I pyrolyze wood with two 55 gallon steel barrels to make my own biochar. We get crazy heavy tropical rains here in Hawaii and the ionically bound nutrients in biochar don't leach out, the natives of the Amazon basin have been using it for millennia to bring fertility to barren dirt.

  • @Berkana

    Hardwood charcoal for grilling is not the right thing to be using as biochar; grilling char has a lot of residual tar which lets it light up easily, but this also contaminates it with PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) which are carcinogens and biocidal. These PAHs have been found to bio-accumulate up the food chain. (I am a biochar researcher; I'd post a link to the study reporting this, but TH-cam doesn't like links in comments.)

      I've used. It at WAY higher than 5%.
      So long as it's fully pyrolyzed and has been inoculated, you can use a bunch.
      10% was the number I always heard was good.
      It's just carbon. Won't hurt anything.
      Terra preta is around 15% carbon.
      So long as you've properly activated it and let it get inoculated well, and you've washed it well of any ash, and fully pyrolyzed it, the most you'll see is a temporary reduction in nitrogen in the immediate area of dispersal. You'd have to use HUGE amounts.

      There's always an efficiency drop off to every ammendment or fertilizer.
      I mean, I'm sure if you could use more they would tell you to use more. They have data that says using too much gives u a bad time.
      That being said, it's boots on the ground like your self that have a different story that are still just as valid to me but as long as your humble enough to realize that your resolution of testing may be less than science and science might have a resolution too fine to find out that more carbon isn't as scary in every situation as they suggest.

    Numerous tests and studies by big Canadian and American agricultural universities have shown biochar is more or less worthless in temperate zones. Its value is chiefly in tropical areas, particularly clear cut rain forest because of the soil bacteria

    Will you be testing the end results N-P-K levels? It needs to be stressed that you can't just put charcoal in the soil without putting the ammendments in it, regular charcoal will sap nitrogen from the surrounding area destroying soil quality.

    Would be fascinating to see a side-by-side comparison garden with this recipe as opposed to garden soil and slow release osmocote / vegetable / flower production fertilizer with the same irrigation and light with cost analysis also, this looks like a smelly long process to make a very small amount of what may be extra rich soil, the couple of times that I saved a bottle of piss to pour it on the plants after a day I became aware of it quite readily, can't imagine the preparation of that being manageable or non nauseating, just getting close to that piss bottle in my house that sat for a day was like a dose of smelling salts

Unfortunately some people are too prudish to consider it. These people also willingly don't know how their commercially-purchased food is fertilized (with petrochemicals and hog manure slurry).
