Why the Pros Love It

Biochar, Upgraded

Unlike traditional biochar products that are dusty, messy, and often too chunky to break down properly, BioChar DG is engineered for a better experience and better results. Its clean, uniform granules are low-dust and easy to apply. Thanks to our patented DG Technology, the particles disperse quickly with water, moving past the thatch layer and directly into the soil where they can do their job. The result? More complete coverage, improved soil health, and a cleaner application every time.

When to Apply BioChar DG

BioChar DG can be applied to all soil and turf types in any growing stage. It can also be used in gardens and flower beds. BioChar DG can be applied on its own or applied alongside other granular applications. Some situations will require higher use rates and/or more frequent applications.

For Established Lawns

Apply 1-2 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. anytime during the growing season.

For New Lawn or Sod Installation

Apply 1-2 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. tilling into the soil then proceed with grass seed planting or sod installation as normal.

For Gardens and Flower Beds

Apply 2-4 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. anytime during the growing season.

For Trees and Shrubs

Apply 1/2 - 2 cups as a band around the base of each tree or shrub. Larger trees and shrubs should use the higher rate.

For Potting Soils

Mix in 5 - 15 lbs. per cubic yard of potting mix.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Check The Forecast

Avoid applying before heavy rainfall so particles don't get washed away.

Mow First

Clear any lawn debris and make it easier for particles to reach the soil.

Clean Up

Sweep or blow product off the driveways/sidewalks back into the lawn.

Water Deep

Your lawn will need at least 0.2 inches of water.

Spreader Settings

We recommend using a broadcast spreader. These spreader settings are a guide. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Be sure to calibrate your spreader before every application.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you're applying to the lawn, BioChar DG is ready to use. Once you water it in, the microparticles will work their way through the thatch and into the root zone. During this process, BioChar DG charges on its own. If you're tilling directly into the soil, it is ideal to provide organic material for the biochar to pull from. This could be compost, chicken feed, organic fertilizer, etc.

No, not in a significant way. Adding any type of carbon can slightly increase the pH, but a significant amount would have to be applied in order to do so.

HumiChar contains biochar. It is a mix of Humic DG and BioChar DG. BioChar DG only contains biochar and Humic DG only contains humic acid.

Biochar has a cumulative effect in the soil. Multiple applications are required for best results. How often to apply depends on your desired results. BioChar DG can be applied as often as monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly.
