The Earthshine Biochar blend is a fast and easy way to boost the performance of new soil, reuse your old soil, and improve the effectiveness of compost teas and mycorrhizae products. This amazing product will save any gardener money by reducing soil costs, improving fertilizer use and reducing water use over the gardening season.

Biochar and its use in amending soil is an age old Native American technique that has been around for over a thousand years. It is based upon the observation that after a forest fire occurs the surrounding vegetative growth is tremendously more robust then areas that were not affected by the fires. The fire creates rich deposits of carbon in the soil, increases soil fertility and encourages microbial activity. Earthshine mimics this incredible process and thereby brings new life to your garden.

The International Biochar Initiative has recognized Biochar’s ability to rejuvenate soil carbon levels, sequester CO2, reduce nutrient runoff, and increase water use efficiency. We blend our Biochar with glacial rock dust, soybean meal, humic acid, and worm castings to create a complete soil rejuvenating product.

• Derived from glacial rock, soybean meal, worm castings, and bio char
• Also contains non-plant food ingredients: Humic acid, 10%
• Use for recycling old soil, boosting new soil, compost tea accelerator, and as a top dressing micro nutrient.

Earthshine Biochar Blend: Unlocking the Potential of Soil Health

Biochar, a carbon-rich substance produced by heating organic materials in a low-oxygen environment, has gained widespread recognition for its remarkable benefits in improving soil health and enhancing plant growth. Earthshine Biochar Blend is a premium product that combines high-quality biochar with carefully selected organic ingredients to provide gardeners and farmers with a powerful tool for optimizing their soil.

What is Earthshine Biochar Blend?

Earthshine Biochar Blend is a 30-pound bag of biochar infused with a proprietary blend of organic materials, specifically designed to enhance soil quality and promote healthy plant growth. This product contains a mixture of biochar, compost, worm castings, and other organic matter, making it a complete and balanced soil amendment.

The Power of Biochar

Biochar, often referred to as "black gold," is the cornerstone of Earthshine Biochar Blend. It is created through a process known as pyrolysis, where organic matter is heated to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. The resulting biochar is a highly porous, stable, and long-lasting form of carbon that can significantly improve soil properties.

One of the most remarkable qualities of biochar is its ability to retain moisture and nutrients in the soil. Its porous structure acts like a sponge, holding onto water and essential minerals, making them readily available to plant roots. This reduces the need for frequent watering and fertilization, ultimately saving time and resources for gardeners and farmers.

A Blend of Organic Goodness

Earthshine Biochar Blend goes beyond biochar by incorporating a rich mix of organic ingredients. Compost, derived from decomposed organic matter, enriches the soil with valuable nutrients and microorganisms. Worm castings, the excrement of earthworms, provide an additional source of nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. Together, these components create a well-rounded soil amendment that nurtures plant health from the ground up.

Benefits of Earthshine Biochar Blend

1. Improved Soil Structure: The addition of biochar enhances soil structure by increasing its porosity and aeration. This creates a healthier root environment for plants and improves drainage in heavy soils.

2. Enhanced Nutrient Retention: Biochar's capacity to hold onto nutrients prevents them from leaching away, ensuring that plants have access to essential elements throughout their growth cycle.

3. Water Conservation: The moisture-retentive properties of biochar reduce the need for frequent watering, making it an eco-friendly choice for drought-prone regions.

4. Sustainable Gardening: Earthshine Biochar Blend is made from renewable and organic materials, promoting sustainable and environmentally responsible gardening practices.

5. Increased Microbial Activity: The presence of compost and worm castings encourages the proliferation of beneficial soil microorganisms, which contribute to improved nutrient cycling and disease suppression.

How to Use Earthshine Biochar Blend

To maximize the benefits of Earthshine Biochar Blend, mix it thoroughly into your garden soil or potting mix. The recommended application rate is one pound per square foot for new beds or containers and half a pound per square foot for established gardens. Be sure to incorporate the blend evenly and water the soil after application to activate the biochar and organic components.

Earthshine Biochar Blend is a versatile and effective soil amendment that brings the power of biochar together with a blend of organic materials to enhance soil health and boost plant growth. Its ability to improve soil structure, increase nutrient retention, and conserve water makes it an invaluable tool for gardeners and farmers seeking sustainable and productive agriculture. With Earthshine Biochar Blend, you can unlock the full potential of your soil and reap the rewards of healthier, more vibrant plants.

Note about the odor and appearance: Since this is considered a fermented fertilizer product (and biologically active) over time a fermented wine or yeast smell may occur due to the breaking down of nutrients in the product or soil. This is safe, natural and completely normal. Store in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight until application.
