Good tunes, packing orders and sheeps wool appreciation ~ here’s some behind the scenes clips 🐑🐑🐑 the wool I wrap your kilns in is made from recycled sheep wool and doubles up as the perfect natural mulch and slug repellent!

My EPIC field trip meeting biochar makers, users, creators, from every walk of life and context! Biochar in every thing & in every way possible 🔥 It was AWESOME to see the real living experience of biocharrists in the UK 🤓 There’ll be more next year so if you’d like to be involved, let me know!

👋🏼 I’m off to do some research into biochar use abroad and so here’s an update on expected shipping timelines! If you can place your order before I leave then I’ll get it in the post for you on Monday 😊
I really appreciate your support and understanding with this! 🙏🏼
And of course I’ll keep you updated with my research travels 🌞

Getting into the details with 🔥 A blissful summer day making rich inoculated biochar for their market garden — which by the way is a huge inspiration given how quickly they’ve transformed the fields!! This is our original biochar kiln, and we use a compost tea and molasses to inoculate the biochar. Happy days 🌞

Here I am, reliable as August rain, answering your questions! 🪱 I remember when I first learned of biochar and the complexity I felt but now I’ve realised it’s actually quite simple - and it’s us humans that over complicate it. It’s valuable porous structure brings essential soil functions, and the easiest place to benefit from this, is in your compost pile. As always, I’m here to keep the conversation going, so please ask any follow up questions 🙏🏼 happy biocharring ✨

This is the feedback I was aiming for! So humbled and proud to make biochar kilns you love! I prioritised making it easy to use, getting it super hot to create a very porous biochar for your soil and ensuring a clean burn with very little smoke 💚🙏🏼🪱

Buyer beware 😡 there are always going to be cheap knockoffs and so I’m letting you know the differences between ours and theirs. I’m never usually one for negative energy but sometimes you have to take a stand - and hopefully I’ll be able to prevent one of you buying a poorly made product without any guarantee. Thank you, Lottie ☺️
