For those of you who cannot or have no desire to make biochar, Judd comments that it's easy to buy online or at your local garden center, which is a good way to encourage the growth of the biochar industry.
I will add that it is quite expensive to buy. For example, a 1.5 cubic foot bag online is $50. I made 20 cubic feet, or around $700 worth, and it took me 8 hours (which mainly consisted of standing around a bonfire sipping cocoa), for an equivalent of $85/hr (that doesn't include time to cut and gather wood, which is not insignificant, though equally pleasurable).
Thanks JB. I'm trying this. This year!
It's very fun! And the perfect thing for woods-dwellers like us with access to infinite wood.
