Arrival of the Grinder

The arrival of the grinder was much anticipated. There’s a stockpile of biochar ready to be ground and the planting of experimental pinapple, plantain, and maize plots is right around the corner. The biochar can now but processed into uniform size making it both easier to apply and more effective in soils. Finely ground biochar increases the water retention and allows for worms and other microbiota to transport the material in all directions resulting in long-term improvement in soil quality.

The very first test run - success!
