Biochar

Activated and Non activated Biochars,

assisting soil regeneration.

Longley Organic Farm's activated and non-activated biochars are now available in a range of grades suitable for many applications.

All of our biochars are locally made using traditional shaped our truncated cone kilns “The Pyrolizer“, pyrolised at temperatures of 500-700oC, for a clean burn, ensuring the integrity of the carbon (platelet) product and removal of resins and volatiles.

All plant material used is carefully selected ensuring soil regenerative outcomes.

Our activated biochars are activated with ‘Macroboost’, locally produced Effective Microorganisms (E.M.) and Marrawah liquid Bull Kelp, ensuring a truly Tasmanian quality product for the consumer.

Biochar is microporous, so it improves soil water holding capacity and helps hold nutrients in the soil. It provides a habitat for beneficial microbes and mycorrhizae, so greatly improves soil life.
