Making Biochar for Small Farms -update - YouTube

Published on Aug 13, 2012 by JohnRogers57

Gang burning four 55 gallon TLUD gassifiers loaded with wood chips. No retort is used. The feedstock is the fuel as it becomes the char. The primary air is drawn through the column of chips by the natural convection of the flue that sits atop the mixing chamber.

Janaka shot and edited this shorter update to invite the viewer to burn four TLUDs at once rather than in a staggered sequence as shown in my earlier video. I explain how I apply the biochar to my garden and "charge" it (with nutrients) in place.
