Do you want your garden/plants to use less water?

What is the demand for a potting soil/compost mixed that saves water and increases plant growth by blending it with biochar? There is going to be a big demand once the public is educated as to the benefits that biochar can bring to plant life. A current university study observes that nursery plant watering was reduced from 4 to 5 times a week to only one using a potting soil mixed with 25% biochar. As well saving water, biochar provides an excellent home to microbes that help plants resist disease and grow faster and larger. Unfortunately, large scale use of biochar is not likely to be implemented due to the expense. It will most likely be used in small gardens, and potting plants.
