Its looking like this will  be one of our wettest summers in many years.(june already is the wettest summer on record). One of the  consequences  of all this heavy rain is water logged soils and leaching of nutrients, which results in poorer growth.

Biochar can alleviate these two issues by improving drainage and slow down the rate of leaching.
Check Ed Revill an organic grower to see what he has to say about Biochar. Also check the link below to get  an insight to the world of biochar production whilst you cook and heat water.
