BLACK DIAMOND BIOCHAR
FOR HORTICULTURE AND HOME
ABOUT US
We are an Adelaide Hills based company, producing high quality biochar from a sustainable feedstock of locally sourced woody waste and tree litter. This is done seasonally to comply with bushfire regulations, it helps hills residents reduce fuel load on their land, enabling easier slashing of paddocks prior to fire season, and less need to have air polluting burnoffs.
REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Every step we take in our sourcing and manufacture is done with an awareness of the footprint we create. Our carbon credits are given to the Maccy Biochar group in the Adelaide Hills to help in their endeavours to make the community of Macclesfield carbon neutral. Our packaging is all re purposed and can be reused and recycled. Labelling has been designed to minimise paper and ink usage.
WHY BIOCHAR?
A sustainable soil improver which has many horticultural benefits including: adding carbon to your soils, promoting microfungi, microorganisms and helping with moisture retention. Biochar's other applications include water filtration, odour reduction, waste water and sewerage treatment, stock and poultry feed supplements to name a few.
