Compost HERO biochar blend is made with premium Wakefield BioChar, organic compost and mycorrhizal fungi to create a superior soil conditioner. The recipe starts with our 20 percent premium biochar. Wakefield BioChar provides an organic answer to reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and naturally increases microbial activity in the soil. This is a long-term solution that will benefit the soil for 100’s of years. All you need to do is mix it into existing soil to get started. Then the HERO line of soil amendments adds a premium, organic compost and mycorrhizal fungi to ramp up the microbial activity, water retention and your soil’s ability to feed your plants. With mycorrhizal fungi, you are also reducing the environmental stresses on your plants. The compost in the HERO blend is aged. This means that the feedstock has gone through a 4 to 6-month thermic windrow process. The temperatures are documented weekly so that the material reaches between 130 and 160 degrees. This allows active fungi and bacteria to push the decomposition process. After the windrows have matured, the material is screened and rests an additional 30-day to ensure matured cured compost. This avoids any risk of hot or unfinished compost. Wakefield is keeping it simple. Just mix Compost HERO Biochar Blend into 10 percent by volume of your soil. Add seeds or starter plants and some water. Then tend and care for your garden as you normally would. One bag of blended biochar is best for 32 square feet of gardening mixed into the top 4-6 inches deep. A good guideline is to make the biochar equal 10 percent of the total soil content in the area of application.
