FAQs

How much Carbon Gold Biochar Biology Blend should I use?

For general soil enrichment, mix 1 part blend to 10 parts soil. For potting, use one-third blend to two-thirds existing potting mix. For transplanting, add a handful to the planting hole.

Is this product safe for edible plants?

Yes, it is Soil Association-approved and made from 100% natural ingredients, making it safe for use on all plants, including edible crops.

How often should I use this product?

You can use it when sowing seeds, transplanting, or repotting. For soil enrichment, it can be applied annually in spring or autumn.

What is biochar?

Biochar is a charcoal-like substance produced by heating organic material in a low-oxygen environment. It improves soil structure, aeration, water retention, and nutrient availability while sequestering carbon.

Can I use this indoors for houseplants?

Absolutely. It's excellent for rejuvenating houseplants by improving potting soil structure and nutrient delivery.

Does it contain any chemicals?

No, it is made from 100% natural ingredients and is certified organic. It contains no synthetic chemicals.

What is the shelf life of the product?

When stored correctly in a cool, dry place, the product maintains its efficacy for a long time due to the stability of biochar and preserved microbes.

Troubleshooting

Slow initial plant response

Ensure the blend is mixed adequately with soil. Water thoroughly to activate the microbes and allow time for soil structure improvements to take effect.

Soil appears too wet after application

This blend improves water retention, so adjust your watering schedule accordingly. Ensure good drainage in your pots or beds.

Product seems dry

The biochar base can absorb moisture. Lightly moisten the blend before mixing with soil if it appears excessively dry, ensuring it is damp but not waterlogged.
