Improve your soil and watch your garden thrive with enriched biochar

Have you ever looked at your garden and thought, “My soil could be better”? If so, you’re not alone. Many gardeners struggle to achieve the perfect balance of nutrients in their soil, which can lead to stunted growth, yellowing leaves, and a host of other problems. Here, Carbon Gold reveal why one key product could be the secret to your soil’s success.

One very simple way to improve the quality of your soil is to add enriched biochar. Biochar is an organic form of environmentally-friendly charcoal that is made from plant matter. It is rich in carbon and other nutrients that are essential for plant growth. Adding biochar to your soil can help improve drainage, aeration, and water retention. It can also increase the amount of oxygen available to your plants’ roots, which leads to healthier plants overall.

Benefits of enriched biochar

There are many benefits to adding enriched biochar to your soil. In addition to improving drainage, aeration and water retention, enriched biochar can also help to:

- Increase the amount of oxygen available to plant roots

- Retain moisture in the soil

- Improve the fertility of the soil

- Reduce the amount of water needed for irrigation

- Reduce transplant stresses of new plantings

- Provide a home for beneficial microorganisms

- Reduce compaction in the soil

- Reduce erosion

- Filter pollutants from the soil

- Reduce the need for chemical fertilisers

- Help climate change by sequestering carbon

What more could you ask from a natural addition to the soil? It is a one-off application and adds both biochar and beneficial natural biology to the soil which means that it will enhance the soil’s natural resilience to the pests and diseases that live within it.

Carbon Gold’s enriched biochar products are a great way to improve the quality of your soil for veg and flower beds, around trees and shrubs and lawns as well as adding it to used compost to bring it back to life for the new season.
