Producer;
Welcome to our channel! Today, we're going to share a secret recipe that will make your garden flourish like never before. We'll show you how to create a powerful mixture that boosts soil health and helps your plants grow stronger and healthier. This special blend will improve your soil's water-holding capacity and nutrient retention, making your garden more resilient and fertile. Stick around to see how you can easily make this amazing mixture at home and give your plants the best start possible! Let's get started!
In this episode, we are going to use, biochar, compost and compost tea to make most powerful liquid mixture. Biochar is made by roasting organic matter at high temperatures with little oxygen. This process preserves the structure of the material, creating porous fragments with tiny chambers. These chambers can hold water, nutrients, and beneficial microbes. Biochar also improves the soil's water-holding capacity and nutrient retention, making it more drought-resistant and fertile.
We are going to first activate and make a liquid biochar mixture that will improve our soil quality by a lot. So let's get started. First, we need about 2 kilograms of compost, and then we need 1 kilogram of biochar. First, crush them into small pieces before use. We will mix these ingredients very well. Now, to make it more powerful, instead of adding normal water, we will add compost tea in it.
If you don't have compost tea, use non-chlorinated water. Now mix them really well and cover the 5-gallon bucket with breathable cloth for a minimum of 3 days; the longer, the better. When we let the mixture sit for several days, it allows the microbes to multiply and colonize the biochar, making it even more effective when added to the soil. This process, known as "charging" the biochar, ensures that it is ready to support plant growth immediately upon application.
We let our mixture sit for 7 days. After 7 days, you can see how powerful the mixture seems. Now you can use the mixture to feed your plants, but it will be a great addition to your garden beds at the start of the growing season. First, we will water our bed because the mixture contains millions of microbes, and they will die if there is no water. After watering, we will just throw this excellent mixture on top of the soil.
Now, let me explain why this mixture will be good. By combining biochar with compost and compost tea, we create a supercharged amendment for our soil. The biochar's porous structure provides an ideal habitat for beneficial microbes, which are essential for healthy soil and plant growth. These microbes help break down organic matter, making nutrients more available to plants. The compost adds organic matter and nutrients to the mixture, while the compost tea introduces even more beneficial microorganisms and nutrients.
Thank you for watching, and I hope this video helps you create a more productive and sustainable garden. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more gardening tips and tutorials!

So great idea, I will try this because I just begin my new home gardening
For years we have used the ash from our wood heater in the garden, it was called ash not biochar. Seems to me that they have taken an old well used idea and rebranded it to make it marketable.
In general
Activated Biochar is a highly porous, carbon-rich soil amendment that improves soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability, promoting overall plant health
A real process to make bio char, see videos on how to make. It's a science and an art, not hard but you do need to know some particulars. Well worth it.
This is fantastic work for the health of soil and plants. Thanks
Add banana, cow urine it multiplies microorganisms. It is ancient Indian panchagvya
Thank you very much for sharing this useful information 🌝👍
I made and used carbonized rice hull/husk as a mixture instead
Great source of natural silica! Only thing better than rice hull or biochar... is, of course, BOTH 👌
Whatever you add to your soil is usually depleted within a month under average to high rainfall
But not charged or activated biochar. It used to be used in the Amazon in ancient times.
@@Jules-740
Magic isn't real ...nutrients are used up in any soil ..and depleted over time
@@Jules-740
You mean charcoal ...
Magic isn't real ...soil nutrients are depleted ...and require the human to maintain soil nutrients by further additions of nutrient or green material ..during the process of farming.
@@oftin_wong No not charcoal. That is something different. Just do a little research and learn about it. I think that it helps improve the soil quality. It is not a nutrient itelf but it absorbs and houses them which is why you would want to charge it before applying it to your soil otherwise it will rob your soil of nutrients and minerals and other biologicals. It was discovered in the Amazon forests. Farmers back in the ancient times used it to improve their soil.
@@Jules-740
It's charcoal my friend
I'm a qualified scientist
Biochar is just a fancy made up word
Comprising of two words "biological charcoal"... Yet charcoal is charcoal
Placing it underground doesn't make it into something different.
And as it decays in the soil it releases carbon dioxide gas which is very good for plant growth ..but it won't do that forever ..as everything has an expiration date because of its rate of loss ..nothing lasts forever
Tq for sharing. clearly explained 🎉🎉Happy gardening
thank you for shearing this video.
but what is compose tea?
look up David The Good and he has videos on Compost Tea
Is the compost tea aerobic or anoerobic ?
That's great 😊
I have heavy red clay. No or little drainage so how will this help?
You need sand and organic matter, if you have the option of adding it as a layer on top of the clay ..you'll be golden
Haters gonna hate
Ignorance with a voice. They have not seen the studies from the Amazon of ancient people soils still vibrant because of their knowledge of biochar.
How about just using charcoal ash from the grill?
Because of all the toxic chemical in it. Check out videos on how to make biochar, it is a process.
What to do with remaining sitted biochar solid?
good
Can someone use urine instead of Compost Tea??
But you did not explain how you got the materials to mix is it burnt wood you crush and what type of compose is it chicken or cattle manure , this is not quite clear
It doesn't matter what type of compost. Compost is a mixture of any decayed material. It can be food scraps, grass cuttings, branches/leaves, old plants, weeds, etc. Compost is usually not manure, manure is manure. And yes you can use any woody material to burn, a lot of people like bamboo. I use pine and cedar that has fallen through the winter.
Don't overthink it
If your plants need potassium, ok give it some char or wood ash. But the claims here in this vid are only anecdotal and not based on soil science. Go easy on the potassium, start giving a bit to potassium loving plants like tomatoes, cantaloupe, and melons. Too much potassium can interfere with the plant’s uptake of calcium and magnesium.
WHY do you have to cover the pail?
@bjohnston3659 probably to prevent insects and animals from drowning in the bucket.
@@karennewberry4694 that's what I thought but then I was wondering if the process has to be protected from light or something. Thanks for your trouble
A thousand years ?
Also, get a aerator in the bottom. That will really blow up the microbes and charge it like crazy. Then mix it all in soil and boom. Almost like terra preta.
Use cow urine instead of water
And how do you obtain that? Is it like milking? There's a bull in a field down the road.
@@celestesmith6060 ))))))))))))))))))))

I’m calling BS. No actual science is explained here. TH-cam tip: if you can’t see the person narrating, there’s a good chance the video is nonsense. Not always, but it’s a safe assumption.
That doesn’t follow, but thanks for playing.
AI generated voice. Looking at the feet probably some curry master looking for side income. 😊
Biochar is amazing
On the contrary, can you offer us any😅organic fertilizer that is the better than TM 😊😊😊j
Btw, perhaps you were not told that talking the way you talk is unkind and you presumed you smart.
Read a good book.
I am an actual soil scientist. This video is complete nonsense.
Isn't charcoal bad for the soil? This is what I know.
LOL
This video mislead the gardeners, , where is scientific evidence?? Does charcoal have micro nutrients??
That just means you're in thousands of dollars of debt, for a useless degree 😂
@@ocularisvanleer5789 Soil scientists are providing essential support to entire nations who simply wish to feed their people (including the USA) : in what way does this become 'useless'.
Your biochar looks like chalk coal to me ??
Where is your science to prove this.
