      Mark, what did this nature guy do to get so sensitive to censoring? Personally, I think nature dude is not telling the whole truth - CZcams is demonetizing for greed. If there is something they don't like, they totally play show your work, advertise and not pay these content creators jack. Totally should NOT put all your eggs in one batch, but not for nothing, just like radio in the 1930s, this new form of social media is pulling democratic societies into dark places. Its one thing to kill a million Iraqis on a tall tale, but to turn that art on Americans?

    Great video. I keep a 5 gallon bucket of biochar by my back door. I pee in it until I can hardly lift it then into the compost. I also put a couple handfuls in the bottom of my Bokashi bucket to catch the leachate. Charging with high nitrogen first prevents it from robbing nitrogen from your compost or the soil. I use an old cast iron sugar kettle that’s been here as long as I can remember to make my biochar, works great. I use it in bokashi, hot compost, worm bin for grit, a great replacement for perlite or vermiculite and it’s permanent carbon and a home for microbes and it helps control nutrient run off. The list of benefits and uses keeps growing.

    Almost every video I've considered making lately, you've made! This is great, thanks for sharing.
    When you are quenching the char with a hose, I *think* you can get higher activation by initially using an ultra-fine misting nozzle. My theory is that the steam gets more of a chance to react with the char at higher temperatures. Using a regular hose stream sucks a ton of heat away quickly and shortens that reaction period (ie the heat should be used for flashing steam as much as possbile rather than heating water). Additionally, if you really want to go crazy with it, I think you could fan the coals rapidly before quenching to get them up to orange or yellow right as you start misting to boost this effect even more. Crunching it to smaller pieces before quenching should help the reaction area as well.
    These are all largely unnecesary tweaks and each would cost a bit of total yield (by mass), but you seem to have a mind for improving processes. Love the channel, cheers.

    I am creating a bio char cone pit. It allows you to keep adding to it and seems to create the most bio char. This method helps prevent air from getting to the center of the fire to prevent over burn.

    I really like your content and agree with most views of the current issues going on the last few years. I've tried to find you on those other channels & websites and they seem very difficult to search, find, and view the content im looking for. I wish someone could create a non-regulated open-source, freedom of speech website that was easy to search & view. If you find one or create one, let us know. TN is on my list for retirement homesteading in a few years. I'm from northwest Georgia but currently live/work in Florida with military, its nice & free here also, but, it's getting really expensive as well.

    have seen creating charcoal in a metal barrel, then choking the air intake with a lid, allowing for a controlled burn, rather than dousing with water.

  • @yadealone
    @yadealone Před 3 lety

    I live in the city on the edge of country so I cannot burn things. I saw another video where someone bought Royal Oak lump charcoal. It is from different hardwoods. I bought a 30 pound bag for about $17 at walmart.com and picked it up at a store. It is another alternative for those who cannot make their own bio char and it’s fairly cheap. I plan to put it throughout my garden and even in my flower and California natives area.

Show me more about farming & gardening & all that stuff & leave politics out of this . Your view on platforms like CZcams. Wow dude ! I happen to get a lot of info from CZcams it’s how I found you. You seem so angry 😡 now in this vid at the end . I’ve always seen your videos as peaceful with Cali vibes. I hope you keep that up & leave your political opinions for another channel .

    How would you ever get a return on this investment. You don't have to spend that kind of money to have a very successful garden. No one online has shown truly beneficial numbers on returns. In my opinion, biochar may not be a hoax but there is nothing out there that substantiates the cost or return. A recent study says that it increases your return by 10%. To me, that's not nearly enough.
