It doesn't automatically improve all soil, does it? As I recall it increases the pH level, which may or may not benefit the soil in that biome, or for the given use of the soil if you're growing food there.
- jasonlaramburu 5y agoThe southern US traditionally has moderately acidic soils. Low soil pH is increasingly a problem in the Midwest as well due to poor agricultural practices.
- navi0 5y agoThis is an important point to consider. The agricultural studies I’ve seen typically apply 80% compost and 20% biochar to degraded soils because biochar is alkaline. It can also be made less alkaline with better, more sophisticated production technologies (i.e., reactors) that minimize ash.
