Isn't it better to bury? Then at least a tree can grow from the decomposing material rather than putting the CO2 directly into the atmosphere? Peter...
Lloyd, I think you are right, for example, here in Italy there burn the stones from olives for home heating. If those could be converted to biochar (and even...

One of the last cool evenings of spring and we all ended up around the patio pit. ~~~The biochar field is wide open, everything from picking up char from a...
Kunuthursrinivas My answer would be "char" AND bury. Charred plant matter stops breaking down or at least slows to an imperceivable crawl... This means it...
I've been making biochar for a month or so now with my TLUD gasifier. About time for CharMaker v2.0. Or v1.5 anyway. I was thinking of improving the current...
Ahhh a compost pile why didn't you say that, deep meaningful speech confuses me... lol ~~~Digging to a soil depth of 4 feet at a chosen location and...
I've been running some biochar productions trials on a 55 gallon vertical barrel set up. The barrel is surrounded by firebrick, sits on a tripod about 30 cm...
Hi Nando... ? I flare woodgas occasionally from an ordinary gate valve plumbed into the piping system, basically just to get a notion of what's happening...

Dear List, Today I was trying to find the post about a UK sterling engine designed for biomass , failing to find it, I did find this US company with a 30...
I've tried a gate valve setup, but couldn't get the gas to ignite. An open flame seems difficult to keep lit. Seems I need an enclosed, well-aerated, hot space...
