BIOCHAR – Building homes for soil microbes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAJt5tGwNVM
Biochar is any type of organic material that has been through a process called Pyrolysis. That’s a Greek word. Pyro means fire, and lysis means separation. So to make a good biochar, all the elements need to be separated by fire at a certain temperature, and without much oxygen.
Biochar is simply decomposing materials at high temperatures . Everything turns into gas…except the carbon. After pyrolysis, there is no nitrogen, no magnesium, no sulphur. No nothing except carbon. A carbon skeleton of what it was.
I´m going to use that carbon and the structure that was created that left all these tiny crevasses and turn them into multi story microscopic apartment buildings and fill them with micro-organisms… the effective ones and put them in the garden. -
7 friends got damaged land. Built 1st restoration ecovillage
In 1994 a group of seven friends began living and farming together on 80 acres of land 70 miles north of San Francisco. One of the first actions taken in the founding of the Sowing Circle community was an agreement made by all partners that each owner’s “share” in the company that owns the land would not be linked to the land’s market value.

In “Growing Wild Together” we return to the nearly 30-year-old food forest growing on the edge of a small town in the very south of Aotearoa New Zealand. The forest, previously an abandoned section filled with rubbish and burnt house remains, was the subject of our 2016 film An Invitation for Wildness. Now we’ve returned to find out what has changed in the forest and for the people who live there.
