A-maize-ing




This week we planted our third biochar field trial - 1/2 hectare of yellow corn. The corn will be ready for harvest in 4 months providing us with relatively rapid results, in comparison with pineapple and plantain.




The sustainable agriculture staff teaching me how to plant corn. 



The biochar was ground to particles no larger than 1cm and the biochar-compost mixtures were pre-mixed and applied to the field in parcels, using the same methods as the pineapple field.
