IMPACTS

  • - Transformed coconut shells into a highly effective Biochar amendment for gardens
  • - Produced 14 sacks of activated charcoal used to enrich the diverse soil types in our region.
  • - Educated 20+ people on what biochar is, how it can help with soil fertility and how togo about doing it.
...

At our weekly farmers market….there is a significant amount of organic waste. Much of this waste can be transformed through our on-site composting system. However coconut shells are difficult to compost in a limited space we have available. By creating and activating a low tech biochar kiln…we have developed a system to transform this organic waste into a valuable input and amendment for our gardens and those of participating farmers. In addition to responsibly processing this biomass, by prototyping this appropriate technology we have been able to extend this option to our partner farmers.
