Reviews

Don't just take our word for it!

I absolutely love the stuff! I started using biochar in my flower beds last summer, and the results have been amazing. Plus, knowing that I am helping the environment is a added bonus.

Adding a small handful of biochar to a mixture of soil and peat free multipurpose compost (approx 1 to 10 of biochar to soil) to infill the hole around the transplanted seedling root ball for the first time last year produced amazing results.

The subsequent display from the 200 or so annual plants grown from seed were noticeably better than the previous year. Plants grew bigger and flowers lasted longer meaning less deadheading twice a day.

This year I am adding biochar to the potting compost when I prick out this years seedlings.

What is biochar?

Biochar is a carbon-rich, charcoal-like substance made from organic materials through a process called pyrolysis.

This process involves heating biomass, such as wood waste, in a low-oxygen environment, transforming it into a highly porous material with remarkable benefits for soil and the environment.

When added to soil, biochar improves water retention, enhances nutrient availability, and supports a thriving microbiome, creating the perfect conditions for healthy plant growth. But that’s not all—biochar also locks carbon into the ground, helping to reduce greenhouse gases and combat climate change.

Sustainable, versatile, and incredibly effective, biochar is the future of soil health and environmental sustainability.

Why You Need Biochar

Our innovative biochar enriches your soil, boosts plant growth, and retains water, all while locking carbon into the ground to combat climate change.

A sustainable solution for thriving gardens and a healthier planet.

Our Process

Woodchip

Wood waste is sourced from local forestry or tree surgeon’s in the North Lincolnshire area. We only use wood which is waste, we don’t believe in chopping down healthy trees to make our biochar.

Heating

Biochar is made by heating waste wood to temperatures of 900°C in our custom-built gasification chamber. Leaving us with up to 90% carbon rich biochar.

Packaged

Once our woodchip has been transformed into biochar we then scoop it into our recyclable pouches and send them to you to transform your gardens and plants!

Biochar for your sandy or clay-ridden soil 🌱

Understanding your soil is key to choosing plants for your garden and growing them successfully 🪴

Not all soils are the same—but Carbon Bloom biochar makes them all better. ✨

If you have sandy soil 🏖️
Biochar acts like a sponge 🧽, holding water 💧 and nutrients 🌿 that would otherwise wash away. This keeps them in the soil, right around the roots where they’re needed.

If you have clay soil 🏺
Biochar’s hard but light structure improves drainage 💦 by creating air pockets 🌬️ that help roots breathe and microbes thrive 🦠.

⚖️ Whether your soil is too loose or too heavy, Carbon Bloom biochar brings balance and resilience 🌍.

🌱✨ Biochar doesn’t just improve soil structure — it also creates a thriving home for beneficial microbes in the root zone! 🦠💚 These little helpers boost nutrient mineralization and make it easier for plants to absorb the nutrients they need to grow strong and healthy.

In other words:
Biochar catalyses microbial and abiotic processes in the rhizosphere, decreasing the activation energy for biotic and abiotic reactions, which can increase nutrient mineralization and facilitate nutrient uptake by plants

If you have any house plants that are looking sad for themselves, it could be due to poor soil. Try biochar.

🌍✨ How does biochar fight climate change? Lots of people are praising biochar for its natural solution to fighting climate change, but do you know how biochar actually stores carbon?

Let’s break it down 👇

🌱 When we make biochar, the carbon in biomass is locked into stable carbon rings.

🛡️ This stable carbon is resistant to decomposition, meaning it won’t turn back into CO₂ or methane through composting.

🪨 When buried in soil, biochar acts like a natural carbon vault, keeping carbon stored for 1000 years! 💯 This solid carbon value is converted into a equivalent CO2 value. Every kg of biochar can store between 2-3 kgCO2.

Carbon Bloom biochar is up to 91% carbon! Other biochar? They may be around 70%...

It’s not just carbon storage, biochar is great at improving soil health. Take a look at our other posts to see the benefits to your soil, especially in this hot weather.

We’ve been busy repotting our houseplants, and it’s the perfect opportunity to give the potting mix a serious upgrade with some Carbon Bloom biochar 🌱

Just mix in about 10% biochar to the potting mix—that means if you’re using 10L of potting mix, add around 1L of Carbon Bloom.

Why? Because biochar boosts moisture and nutrient retention right where your plant needs it most—at the soil surrounding the roots. Its porous structure also creates the perfect home for beneficial microbes to thrive 🦠✨

If you often forget to water or notice your plants looking a little bit sad, repotting with Carbon Bloom biochar could make all the difference.

Your plants will thank you ! 💚

🌿 What a Sunday at Brocklesby! 🌸

We had an amazing day at the Brocklesby Open Garden Market — chatting with fellow growers, sharing the benefits of biochar, and soaking up the beautiful surroundings. 🌞

🎉 We sold 40 pouches of Carbon Bloom Biochar and a handful of happy plants too!
A huge thank you to Coletta & Tyson Garden Centre for donating some gorgeous bedding plants 🌺
And of course, big thanks to Brocklesby Estate for hosting and inviting us along. 🙏

It’s days like these that remind us why we do what we do — connecting with people who love growing as much as we do and getting biochar into gardens🌱
