The Beave on Nostr: I've read and heard many times that adding straight biochar without first loading ...
I've read and heard many times that adding straight biochar without first loading with microbes can decrease garden output for a few years as the charcoal has massive capacity to absorb nutrients from the soil system. The best practice I've heard I'd to use something like KNF or some kind of fermentation to "preload" the char before adding it your garden.
Do you have any thoughts or experience with that?
