Description

Our  Biochar Improver Peat-free Compost is tailored for the horticultural market, enriched with 25% biochar to promote a thriving environment for fungi and earthworms. This compost is made from wood fines and brash, and is specifically designed to create a nutrient-rich foundation that supports the health and growth of your plants.

There is promising anecdotal evidence suggesting that biochar may help arrest and even cure ash trees of ash dieback. We are currently trialing our Biochar Plant Improver Compost on an ash tree on our farm that would otherwise face felling—read more in our blog article. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome!

The fascinating symbiotic relationship between microorganisms, fungi, and plants in nutrient transfer is only beginning to be fully understood, garnering increased interest from the scientific community.

To use, mix the compost into your soil by hand or with a trowel. It can also be applied topically to lawns for added benefit.
