The Oxford Charcol Company Pure Biochar

🌳 100% PURE BRITISH HARDWOOD BIOCHAR MULTI-PACK Premium British-Made Soil Improver, Toxin Binder & Compost Booster Stop buying imported or re-labelled alternatives. We supply 100% pure, raw biochar manufactured directly here in the UK from sustainably harvested British hardwoods. Featuring a high-temperature pyrolysis production (700°C), our biochar delivers an exceptional internal surface area (300\text{ m}^2/\text{g}) that transforms your growing medium permanently. 💎 SELECT YOUR PERFECT VOLUME PACK: 1 Litre: Ideal for indoor houseplants, delicate succulents, herbs, and terrariums. 8 Litres: Designed for patio container gardening, window boxes, or specialized potting projects. 15 Litres: Tailored for small backyard greenhouses, kitchen herb beds, and raised vegetable planters. 30 Litres: The standard allotment favorite. Ideal for deep-soil mixing in medium veg patches or establishing a fruit tree line. 50 Litres (The Traditional Sack): Maximum volume, best price-per-litre value. Best for full-plot garden overhauls, major landscaping, or extensive poultry coop care. 🌱 THE ULTIMATE PERMANENT SOIL UPGRADE Exceptional Quality: Made from untreated wood with a highly usable mixed-grade profile. Fully backed by a "Grown in Britain" license and European Biochar Certificate (EBC) chain of custody audit. Unrivaled Internal Surface Area: Our advanced thermal destructive distillation process creates a microscopic "honeycomb" matrix that is vastly more active than standard smouldering charcoal. Tailor to Your Soil: We deliberately leave our biochar 100% raw and un-inoculated. Because different soils harbor different native mycorrhizae and unique nutrient deficiencies, you retain total control to add your own favorite potting mixes, composts, or specialized fertilizers. Permanently Carbon-Negative: Turn your garden into an IPCC-approved carbon sink. Every 1kg of biochar you dig into the earth permanently locks away up to 3.6kg of atmospheric \text{CO}_2 for centuries. 💡 HOW TO USE FOR MAX RESIDENCY & RESULTS We recommend a minimum 10% mix ratio in your chosen planting medium (there is no known maximum—studies show the more you add, the better the results!). Because raw biochar acts like a powerful, empty structural sponge, it needs to absorb nutrients and develop microbial root-area relationships (which naturally takes 2–7 months in the ground). For instant powerhouse performance, we highly recommend inoculating (charging/activating) it first: Place your raw biochar into a vessel (like a wheelbarrow). Dilute 'Wood Vinegar' or your favorite liquid fertilizer with water at a 1:100 ratio in a separate container. Pour the mixture over the biochar until it is completely covered, and leave sheltered for 2 days. Dig the activated mix into the top 30cm of your vegetable patch or flower borders in Autumn, Winter, or early Spring to completely restore soil fertility. 🐾 VERSATILE, MULTI-APPLICATION USE Beyond premium horticultural composts and raised bed soil amending, this high-purity, toxin-free hardwood carbon is trusted for: Animal & Poultry Care: Promotes healthy animal digestion, acts as an internal toxin binder, and eliminates foul ammonia odors in livestock bedding and chicken coops. Agricultural & Anaerobic Digestion: Supercharges microbial activity in digestion tanks and farming mixes. Water Filtration & Building Infrastructure: Premium physical structural medium for clean filtering and eco-construction projects. 📊 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (OXB-BA-DE-30-1-2) Carbon Content: 84.6% (DMB) Specific Surface Area (BET): 300\text{ m}^2/\text{g} pH-Value: 7.9 Moisture Content: ~25.1% Ash Content: 3.0% Dry Matter: 74.9% Nutrient Trace Profile: Nitrogen (0.36%), Potassium (0.3%), Calcium (0.5%), Phosphorus (<0.1\%), Magnesium (<0.1\%)
