Description

BioChar DG is a soil amendment made from the carbon skeleton of wood, or other organic matter, through the process of super heating. Every small piece of biochar has millions of molecular bonding sites that hold water, nutrients, microbes, fungi, and bacteria that would otherwise be washed away or die from harsh conditions. Once introduced to your soil, biochar will stay for years, helping build the soil profile. BioChar DG applications result in rich, carbon-heavy soil that feeds itself and the plants growing in it. Unlike other biochar products, The Andersons BioChar DG can be effectively used on established lawns. Its dispersible granule technology allows the biochar to bypass the thatch layer of your lawn and immediately begin working in the soil. BioChar DG contains karrikins that stimulate dormant seed germination and seedling growth. It will also help replenish garden soil by retaining water and nutrients, and providing ideal conditions for good microbes. Adding BioChar DG to the root zone when planting trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, and more can improve soil quality and create ideal growing conditions for the plant. BioChar DG can be added to compost to increase temperatures and accelerate the composting processes. Applying BioChar DG to your compost can also help reduce odor. The Andersons BioChar DG features Dispersible Granule (DG) Technology, which allows particles to disperse when watered. The DG Technology helps the Andersons BioChar DG move past the thatch layer of your lawn or the mulch in your garden bed, and into the soil without any raking, digging, or tilling. The spherical and uniform granules also mean low-dust, making The Andersons BioChar DG easier to work with. Other biochar products have chunks of organic material, are dusty, and messy. These products have to be worked into the soil and then watered thoroughly to reach the root zone and be effective.

  • Clay Transformer
Size: 10lb
Transformers heavy clay to workable soil over time but not an instant fix. After eight years, applying this Biochar every other year the heavy clay is now workable and water permeable. The Anderson biochar spreads good with varied but consistent pellet size. Lawn health is increased along with drought resistance. The only drawback is creating soil that welcomes grubs. Be aware this Biochar was used in conjunction with liquid humic acid which surely assisted the biochar in amending the soil. ... show more

  • Could be smoke & mirrors but does it work? YES
Size: 30lb
look I’m not a scientist not a lawn expert but I can spot a great, green lawn from a mile away & since using this product my lawn (really the soil underneath) significantly. I have a hybrid Bermuda lawn in North Texas & apply this product as often as I can afford (a bit pricy) usually 4 - 6 heavy applications per year for the last 3 years. you will not get an instant green like a nitrogen fertilizer, you actually might not notice much until a couple of applications but the first thing I noticed was how dark brown the dirty underneath was getting (North Texas has a very heavy clay soil, no top soil was added to the new build & we get very little rainfall so the ground is normally hard and grey). I attribute the deep, dense, green grass growth after to the quality of the soil. There is a visible line in the soil level where my yard ends & my neighbors begins. What this product does, I don’t know, I lay it down heavy, water it in, pray for rain & green grass grows! Disclaimer : I used this product in conjunction with other products throughout the year, I don’t know what it would do on its own. ... show more

  • Good First Impression
Size: 30lb
This was my first experience with The Andersons products. Received this yesterday and immediately put in on the lawn in advance of some upcoming rain. Was very pleasantly surprised at how little dust it had and how well it spread. I've used other products that really gummed up the spreader, but this stuff almost scrubbed the spreader, and cleanup was minimal. Well done, Andersons, on the making a product that spreads so well. It's too early to tell how much this helps my soil and it's very expensive, but the initial impression was very good. The only minor nits to pick are that UPS significantly damaged the box (completely tore a section) for one of the bags but the bag was fortunately intact, and that it took a day and a half for the shipment to be picked up once the "label was printed". ... show more

  • Order from Anderson's!!
Size: 30lb
Amazon delivery sucks!! Love Anderson products... But for the little savings on "Subscribe n save", I will order direct! They have free shipping over a certain amount..and the delivery service can carry a 40lb. bag(..or use a cart!)! This 30lb. box was open..thanks to the thick Anderson bags,it wasn't busted(..but some have been!)!! Great products...bad delivery! You need to contact UPS or USPS also on how to deliver efficiency... in this economy(..with fuel prices)..why in my small town are there so many trucks in the same neighborhood?!! Do better...lower prime costs!! ... show more

  • great product.
Size: 10lb
very uniform. spreads amazing for lawn. good value compared to other bio char. for garden use compost first.. if spreading around trees or shrubs you will need extra nitrogen. after composting, dont let it dry out to much. i smelled some ammonia evaporating. i was planning on letting it dry completely to spread but i think im losing the nitrogen. its a great product to play around with. compost with other fine materials like flour or animal feed for a very fine finished product. it didnt absorb all that fishy smell from that 5-1-1 stuff. i even found some other uses for this stuff. works great as a kitty litter additive. ... show more

  • Pretty sure this is good stuff...

I applied this with a bag of PGF Complete 10-10-10 initially. And then followed up with another bag of PGF a month later. And in combination, they brought my lawn back from critical condition. So pretty happy with that.
