Yes, it hurts in the beginning by sucking away nutrients from surrounding plants & soil. Adding bio-fertilizer frequently will replenish the shortage over a period of time.
@ I make garden tea using manure water and weeds that I pull out of the ground. The water I leave in a bucket for a couple days so it’s decorated in the sun.
If pathogens exist in canal or stagnant water they will make a home in the charcoal & sicken your farm for decades. Charging with "beneficial" microorganisms is a very important decision. It is like choosing the friends you want to make in your life. Good habit friends or criminals.
It is a good choice to add to compost & and allow time to charge. Dipping it in bio-fertilizer, cow urine, etc is faster & equally good. It takes about a week to charge ( faster )
Obviously you don't understand the subject. You don't load it with fertilizer, you inoculate it with beneficial microbes. Saying biochar is hype is like saying compost is hype, because there's a process that has to be done to convert waste material into compost. The video offers one approach, not nearly the only one and not one that I would recommend. I would recommend putting the charcoal into your compost tea maker, so that you're generating both a beneficial compost tea And creating biochar. There's research that shows the benefits, but I don't suppose you've read any of it.
Thanks so much😊
Thank you for sharing this tip.
It will still work and help your soil. It will just take longer if you don’t supercharge it.

What about canal or stagnant water

Put it in your compost first

👍
Biochar is a bunch of hype. It's pretty useless if you don't supercharge it with fertilizer first.
Yes, 'Charcoal' is a hype. Once inoculated with bio-fertilizer it's name changes to 'Biochar'.
In fact plain Charcoal addition to soil is a problem to plants surrounding it. Always charge it before applying to earth.
