Love him burner , I have one of the few hard wood mills in Australia Just down the road . Looks like I will be going there on the weekend as they burn a lot of there scrap timber .

Yep I suppose you've seen there's a fair amount of information online about it. They say to charge/innoculate in EWC. I wonder if you've got a choice of species or if that matters much.

Looks like I've got 90+gallons that's more than enough for the sunroom grow.

The Biochar looks great, have you charged it with anything yet? I charge mine with LAB, Molasses been throwing in some mycorrhizal too. I personally think its one of the most underrated amendments, really can charge it with anything.

No, I haven't charged it yet...thanks for the reminder lol. I need to do that right now! Was going to use EWC. May as well add the myco and bacteria. Hey bro, how much biochar do use in your soil? I'm pretty sure i don't have enough. I'm making another batch now.
Thanks for popping by!

I bet you'd kill it with a camera here man. I'm just a point and shooter but yep lots of scenery stuff around here. We've got a dandy waterfall up behind us here on our creek. I love going up there cause the air is super oxygen rich..Lakes tend to be darkish because of tannins etc, and Hard to get to lol, rugged ass going.
Yea manana man I'm stuck in the chair now.
