Horticulture and biochar

Over at Carbon Gold in the UK some really interesting results are emerging. Applying their enriched biochar once when planting has given on average 11% of increased crop yield.

China and biochar

Why do I get the feeling that when a chinese person hears the word "small business" he or she is not applying the same mindset as a westerner?

Anyhow, enough of my philosophy lesson. Here is a "small" business from Beijing, China focusing on a variety of uses for the biochar they produce. Manufacturing as well as R&D is on their list of endeavours. They have had great success in using biochar as a purifier of heavy-metal polluted soils.
