The addition of biochar to compost can improve the holding capacity, stability, biological status etc… of the finished product. Applying biochar enriched compost to the soil somewhat emulates the process used in the Amazon rainforests to create the rich terra preta soils that persist to this day. This could be a good practice to try in the poor sandy soils of WA.
Farmers are also making use of wood vinegar, which is a by product of biochar production, as it looks to be a promising biostimulant.
