Description

Maple Leaf Biochar is a 100% plant-based natural soil improver that has been recognized for hundreds of years. Our biochar is produced by carbonizing forest biomass. Its use in plant crops brings several advantages.

BENEFITS

  • Improves and maintains the development of microorganisms, promoting plant growth.
  • Helps build soil structure, protecting against compaction and promoting aeration and root development.
  • Provides nutrients and gradually releases them into the soil, reducing the need for supplements.
  • Works in synergy with other horticultural agents such as compost, fertilizer, mycorrhizae and others, optimizing their contribution to soil structure and reducing leaching.
  • Favors the retention of water and nutrients close to the root system, thanks to its porous structure.
  • Supports sustainable agriculture by reducing the use of chemicals in the soil.
  • Helps balance acid soils.
  • Offsets greenhouse gas emissions by acting as a soil carbon sink. It therefore reduces the release of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Vegetable gardens and flower beds: 9 liters of biochar for 10 m2 of surface. Mix into the soil between 0 and 15 cm deep. Repeat every 2 years.

Lawn: When sowing, 9 liters of biochar for 25 m² of surface. Mix into the soil between 0 and 5 cm deep.

Trees: 1 part biochar to 5 parts potting soil Planting: place the mixture at the bottom of the hole before planting the tree. Addition to a tree: make a trench around the tree, pour the mixture and cover.
