HIGH CARBON BLACK SOIL

Black soils are inherently productive and fertile soils that are critical for plant growth and produces high yield for your edibles. Soil carbon (C) is an important indicator of soil health and an integral part of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. Loss of soil carbon can lead to soil degradation and loss of productivity. Soil carbon is lost from the soil through erosion, residue removal, intensive tillage, and land-use changes. Carbon-enriched soil amendments, including animal manure, bio-solids, municipal compost, and biochar, among others, can restore soil productivity.

Carbon-enriched materials to the soil is not a new practice. Thousands of years ago, the indigenous people of the Amazon basin used charcoal-like material from cooking and heating as a soil amendment to agricultural soils.
