Never heard of biochar before. Still don't quite understand why I might use it, but interesting.
Had not been familiar with Biochar before tonight, thx for enlighteent
I connected with someone in my area during #gardenchat! And I did learn a lot about our topic; biochar. Sounds like something I want to try! Thanks from FreshFoodMcCall!
Regarding biochar on #gardenchat, 1/9/12-I'd heard of the discovery in the Amazon regarding apparent use of charcoal in the soil. My questions concerned feasibility and cost recovery of adding enough to large fields and how long this would take to pay out. Thanks to the moderator and guest hosts for an interesting session! - Bill
Learned a lot about gardening and soil conditioning, thank you.
I thought it was a very interesting discussion tonight. As someone who has made biochar in homemade kit, I am very interested (and wary) in seeing how biochar will evolve as a commercial product. But there are many great benefits to using biochar, so thank you for spreading the word!

I learned biochar is something I could use to help break up my heavy clay soil. I need to try a variety of things this Spring to work on my backyard.
I learned that I can use biochar to help break up the heavy clay in my garden. I need to do a lot of work on that this Spring. My backyard is my next project.
I was excited to sit in on the chat for biochar and look forward to doing some of my own testing with this practice.
Was a new and interesting topic tonight about Biochar and it's benefits to ammending garden soil, and how it's a permanent ammendment, not a temporary soil fix, and that it corrects/adjusts soil PH as well as helps retain moisture. Connected with new poster @kwolchak from NJ tonight.
Enjoyed the chat. Learned a lot about biochar. Reconnected with "old" friends, saw some new faces. Mondays are always a blast. Thanks, @bg_garden and #gardenchat
I've been researching biochar for the last couple of months and am excited to test it out in my organic vegetable gardens. It seems like a simple and practical method to improve the soil and increase yields. I'm always inspired by the great contributors to GardenChat and have incorporated many ideas that I've been introduced to during our weekly chats.Thanks for hosting this week's learning session!
Wow! So much great info about biochar on #gardenchat this evening. Love learning new/old ways to amend soil, particularly acidic soil which is my problem. Looking forward to mixing it in with my existing soil and some additional compost. Lots of new friends were made tonight!
Interesting product that I haven't heard of before... would like to see how it helps break up clay soil. I've got plenty of that!
Sounds interesting from what I have read so far. Looking forward to reading the transcript. I have a geodesic greenhouse dome and love gardening. I love learning and trying all organic gardening.
Very interesting chat on biochar. Helps soil retain moisture...? That's a big bonus in conserving water here in zone 9B. Great chat and information!
What an informative topic on tonight's chat. Never heard of biochar before but sounds like it could be a good way to conserve water in the garden. Especially here in zone 9B! Thanks for sharing with us.
Really enjoyed following the conversation on Biochar. Couldn't believe how long the benefits for your garden last. Such a better solution. Thanks for all the info.
