So I’ve sat and watched Tom Pembelton as normal for the bedtime routine. And he’s brought a product called supersoil. An organic fertiliser. Has anyone on here used this? Or know anyone that has?
Mix it into a standard crop sprayer and spray it on. Heavily marketed on FB. The product is a very fine black powder.Do you spread it by hand. Is that advertising on Facebook alot.
From memory £260 for a Kg. Probably cheaper buying class A drugs!How much is it?

1Kg covers 10 acres is the only saving grace. I usually spread 50Kg of Nitrogen to the acre on grazing so similar price.
I keep seeing the ads for it on Facebook. It does sound too good to be true, bit like a product a few years ago that claimed similar grass growth improvements, can't remember it's name though.
However I went down a YouTube rabbit hole the other day and watched a video about how ancient amazon tribes had improved soil. It said they had added something to the soil, possibly biochar, and that had drastically improved the soil however we don't fully understand how they did it. The amazon soil is famously infertile once you get rid of the forest. However even hundreds/thousands of years later you can still see where those ancient tribes improved the soil. The improved soil is rich and black, whereas a few feet away is poor, grey soil. So maybe there is some long lost science in soil improvement that we just don't know about.
Yeah it's called charcoalI keep seeing the ads for it on Facebook. It does sound too good to be true, bit like a product a few years ago that claimed similar grass growth improvements, can't remember it's name though.

He paid for it. Think he said it was £300 a kg or something... Even bought a Jarmet sprayer!!! The boy means businessbought it or paid to promote it ?
law says. if paid promotion it should br made clear
There is a scientific explanation for biochar
Biochar - Does it Really Work in the Garden?
Biochar is a special kind of charcoal that seems to have many benefits as a soil amendment. It holds water, acts like a fertilizer and grows bigger plants. While doing all this it is also eco-friendly and sequesters carbon in the soil for many thousands of years. Sounds like a win-win-win. What...www.gardenmyths.com
Supersoil is spivvery.
Yeah it's called charcoal
Do you know how expensive charcoal is?So if its as simple as incorporating charcoal/biochar why aren't we all spreading tonnes of the stuff on our fields??
Fungi basically sort sugars and residues into stable soil Carbon anyway - moreso if you stop applying crap to the soil, and let it take as long as it takes, whatever 'it' isSo if its as simple as incorporating charcoal/biochar why aren't we all spreading tonnes of the stuff on our fields??
