Learned A Thing Or Two About Bio-char
I already knew a lot about bio-char before I bought this book, but was pleasantly pleased to find new things to learn in this book. Also glad they covered the pit cook method, as that is my favored method so far, but I scale it up a bit from what is in the book, so you can too! Great little Bio-char book, would recommend for those interested in learning more.

if this book doesn't make you try biochar, I don't know what will
The book is visually great, with lots of interesting information written in a simple yet engaging style. I hope to produce my first batch of biochar in the next month or so!!!
