Biochar and worms: two old ideas making soil new again

Dexter Roberson Avatar

Biochar has been enriching Amazonian soils for two thousand years. Charged with compost, it becomes a sponge for the nutrients and microbes plants love.

Ancient tools, modern harvests

Vermiculture asks even less: red wigglers work through food scraps and leave behind castings richer than any fertilizer you can buy.

Our pioneering growers combine both, and their fields hold water longer, feed plants steadier, and grow food that is measurably denser in nutrients.
