This is the first time I really delved into making biochar after a lot of research and some coaching from my father. Let me take you along on the journey.

Thanks for the vote. Good initiative. Keep any eye out for a delegation form me.
That's fantastic, thanks so much! We think gardening is a great thing to invest in!
I have always wanted to visit Africa and it is on my bucket-list I have a couple of friends living over there.
You really should, it is always great to travel to new places.
So true I have plans to travel quite a bit next year make up for traveling time I lost over the pandemic.
We'll done friend!
Thank you.
I love Ghana
Ghana loves you.
You're a person in blurt that we get many things to observe. I like those green scenes.
Yes abundance of green is soothing.
@leifasaur, its wonderful to see you explore new things.
Regards to the family.
Thank you. I will send your regards.
Wow this is good, you know the last time I posted about my project work here in Nigeria it was a work that biochar was involved nd it was very interesting sir.
Yes I remember I am glad you got to see my video then. What do you think? Is it as similar process. My second burn was so much better. I had the material closer to the fire on the up wind side and I let it burn a little more before each new addition and at the end. I got a much higher yield of better quality material, it was still very hot after 7 days of being burried.
Yeah it might still be depending on the environment it is but I believe with what I saw in the video you did a very impressive job there which when it is used as an amendment in any work it will surly give you the best of it kudos to you sir.
What a Wonderful day
I'm be awaring of Ghana through your nice blogs and now videos. I'm very far from your country but it seems near by these things.
Is the scenery like your country?
There is always something interesting, someday I will visit ghana
That will be great, I hope you do soon.
Wow, what a great site to behold, the natural beauty embedded in those trees is gorgeous. One day, I'll be there
Yes it is very beautiful, I hope that you can see it one day.

Very beautiful coconut trees inside road and other beautiful things there in video
Yes it all makes for very nice surroundings.
I watched the video. Do I understand it correctly that the ash produced by burning the dry plants can be taken as fertiliser? The area looks very dry, there seems to be little rain.
We just spent the weekend working on the backyard, which we had left without maintenance for almost two years. Since there is a huge tree in that yard that sheds a lot of leaves, we just kept sweeping those leaves into piles. Granted, even before that we swept the leaves under the existing bushes, so more time has passed than two years.
Under the new loose leaves, the old piles of leaves have rotted away over time. The rain provided permanent moisture, which attracts lots of earthworms and other small organisms.
We have now gained a rich layer of soil under the fresh leaves, very black, very rich in content. I have never seen such fat earthworms when potting new plants. We have gained all the soil without having to buy any. It's actually quite easy if you let things take their course for a while and the weather conditions provide enough moisture.
Would you say that any form of ash derived from organic (plant) material is good as fertiliser?
