[QUOTE="Old McDonald, post: 4388446, member: 47276"] I did have a look at it. I wanted it for a specific non-agricultural purpose - the medium in an aquaponics grow bed. I found it easier to buy some bags of charcoal. I topped this with just enough gravel to stop it rising when the beds are flooded with water pumped from a lower level fish tank. It then returns to the fish tank with the aid of a bell siphon. Early days, but it works. My interest in charcoal/biochar goes back a few years though, as a means of using tree prunings (1300 olive and almonds) rather than burn them as everyone else does. I unow use the bigger stuff for the house heater and the small stuff is being used as a sort of mulch in a wet area and sown with lupins/rye/other legumes. I have posted previously that I will report back on this in due course - probably next year, but I like the look of what is happening so far. [/QUOTE]
