FAQs

How much compost can one 4L box rejuvenate?

One 4L box of Carbon Gold Biochar Compost Rejuvenator can revitalize up to 280L of used compost or grow bag soil.

Is this product safe for organic gardening?

Yes, it is certified organic and free from harmful chemicals and artificial additives, making it entirely safe and suitable for organic gardening practices.

Can I use this on any type of compost?

It is designed for use with general compost and used grow bag soil. It works by improving the structure and vitality of existing organic matter.

How do I properly mix the rejuvenator?

A good starting point is to mix one part biochar rejuvenator with ten parts used compost. Ensure the mixture is thorough and even for optimal results.

What is biochar and why is it used?

Biochar is a charcoal-like material produced from organic matter. It is known for its porous structure, which improves soil aeration, water retention, and provides a habitat for beneficial microorganisms.

Does this product contain any nutrients?

The primary function of the biochar is to improve soil structure and the environment for microbial life. While biochar can hold onto nutrients, the product itself is not a fertilizer and does not add significant nutrient content.

How should I store the Biochar Compost Rejuvenator?

Store the product in a cool, dry place, ensuring the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause clumping.

Troubleshooting

Compost still seems poor after mixing

Ensure the biochar powder was thoroughly and evenly mixed with the old compost. For best results, allow the mixture to rest for a few weeks before use to allow the biochar to condition the compost.

Product seems clumpy

This can happen if exposed to moisture. Break up any large clumps with your hands or a trowel before mixing with compost. Store in a dry environment.

Plants are not thriving after repotting

Verify that the rejuvenator was mixed in the correct ratio with the old compost. Re-check that the compost itself is suitable for the specific plant's needs, as the rejuvenator enhances existing compost properties.
