Biokol - Gröna rader. Ladda och dosera biokolFörvandla aska till trädgårdskalkGrilla mat och gör biokol samtidigt Biokol binder fukt och näringsämnen men bryts ned långsamt.
Därför är det perfekt att använda i trädgårdsjorden.

Växterna binder koldioxid från atmosfären via fotosyntesen och tar upp vatten och mineralnäring från jorden. En trädgård är klimatneutral. Terra preta – den svarta jorden En tanke väcktes när jag befann mig djupt inne i regnskogen i östra Ecuador. Jorden i Amazonas djungler är normalt ljus och näringsfattig men där Amzonas indianer haft sina boplatser är jorden fortfarande näringsrik och fylld med biokol fastän indianerna lämnade Amazonas för hundratals år sedan. Tennisbana mot pingisbord Det är välkänt hos oss trädgårdsodlare att leriga och mullrika jordar är näringsrika, medan sandjordar innehåller lite näring. Odling med Biokol - Bättre Planteringsjord.

However some of the worst air pollution occurs indoors in rural areas. The burning of biomass such as wood, coconut coir and other crop residues as a source of fuel generates smoke, particulates, carbon monoxide, methane and hundreds of organic compounds including many carcinogens. As a result, thousands of people in Vietnam die each year. According to World Health Organization estimates, more people in the developing world die each year from conditions related to indoor air pollution—mostly from inefficient, solid-wood-burning stoves—than tuberculosis or malaria.[1] But the use of cook stoves is not limited to rural areas.
One might argue that many people cannot afford kerosene, LPG or propane, and that little can be done to stop the burning of low-grade biomass fuels. This is quite important from the point of view of safety, since at no time is carbon monoxide being discharged. ClimateTechWiki. Brownsort, P., A. (2009).

BIOCHAR – Wydział Inżynierii Produkcji i Logistyki About biochar - BIOCHAR - Wydział Inżynierii Produkcji i Logistyki. Biochar is a carbon product (as charcoal) produced from the organic waste in the process of pyrolysis.
Currently, a range of biochar-related research are being conducted worldwide. Moreover, a number of companies and non-profit organizations related to this topic have been established. Research areas focused on biochar can generally be divided into three groups: International Biochar Initiative. International Biochar Initiative. Biochar Workshop Part 1, How to Make Biochar.
Make Biochar — This Ancient Technique Will Improve Your Soil. Last year, I committed one of the great sins of gardening: I let weeds go to seed. Cleaning up in fall, I faced down a ton of seed-bearing foxtail, burdock and crabgrass. Sure, I could compost it hot to steam the weed seeds to death, but instead I decided to try something different.
I dug a ditch, added the weeds and lots of woody prunings, and burned it into biochar, thus practicing a “new” soil-building technique that’s at least 3,000 years old. What’s biochar? Basically, it’s organic matter that is burned slowly, with a restricted flow of oxygen, and then the fire is stopped when the material reaches the charcoal stage. Amazonian Dark Earths The idea of biochar comes from the Amazonian rain forests of Brazil, where a civilization thrived for 2,000 years, from about 500 B.C. until Spanish and Portuguese explorers introduced devastating European diseases in the mid-1500s. Finding Free Biochar Biochar’s soil building talents may change the way you clean your woodstove. How to Improve Garden Soil With Charcoal.
If you want to raise rich, lush flowers and vegetables in your garden, adding charcoal to the soil is a simple and effective method. There are many reasons to add charcoal to your garden, including raising the soil’s pH, improving air circulation and increasing the soil’s ability to retain water and nutrients. Once added, the benefits of charcoal continue for years. Should you decide to sell your home, the charcoal-aided garden can help it stand out from neighboring yards.
If you don’t plan on moving, each year you can enjoy the benefits that this simple measure brings. Measure the size of your garden.
