Review: Great for Terrariums! - I use this in the terrariums I build and sell as well as in all my potted plants in my home. Great value and the quality is exceptional!
Review: Easy to charge, good value - This 30-lb biochar was not dusty and the granules were easy to mix with ingredients to charge it. Per another reviewer, it is much easier to use than crushing natural charcoal briquettes or creating biochar from scratch. Many online sources and YouTube videos explain how to innoculate raw biochar like this. I used a large galvanized tub and mixed the entire bag with humic acid, Azomite, kelp, a 25-quart bag of worm castings, flour, molasses and filtered water. Some people use compost, liquid fertilizers, fish emulsion, etc. Anyway, the slurry sat for two weeks to charge up.

## Features

- IMPROVES SOIL - Persist Biochar soil amendment active charcoal improves nutrient availability in potting soil for plants and outdoor plant soil by holding onto nutrients due to its high surface area and porosity, preventing nutrient loss and making them available to plants for longer.
- MOISTURE ABSORBER - The highly porous structure of activated charcoal for plants allows water to be retained in the small spaces within the material up to 6x longer. High surface area of biochar allows it to hold onto water molecules to keep soil for plants hydrated.
- INCREASED PLANT GROWTH - Persist Biochar prevents leaching of valuable water and nutrients from the soil, improving the effectiveness of plant food and accelerating plant growth for all types of soils including orchid soil, succulent soil and bonsai soil and cactus soil.
- MAKES RICH CACTUS SOIL AND CACTUS SOIL POTTING MIX - From succulent potting mix to tropical potting mix, Persist PAF will enhance any liquid plant fertilizer. Easily replaces perlite for plants indoor and outdoor with your favorite potting mix, plant food or plant fertilizer .
- THE CORAL REEF OF THE SOIL - Just as a coral reef's crevices provide a habitat for diverse marine life, biochar's microscopic pores act as a home for microorganisms crucial for sustained soil and plant health. Persist Biochar enhances both the variety and number of beneficial microorganisms in soil.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What country does it come from??**
A: Persist Biochar is made 100% from California pistachio shells here in the United States. The manufacturing company is VGRID Energy Systems which uses their bioserver technology to convert AG waste pistachio shells into clean energy and they extract Persist Biochar from the process. The bioserver uses a high Temp/low gasification process to ensure the biochar is pure and has a very high porosity value for maximum adsorption capacity.

**Q: How many quarts is this (1.5 cu. ft) equivalent to?**
A: The formula for finding out how many quarts is in 1.5 cuft is: to multiply the volume value by 29.922078. So the answer to your question would be 44.8831169 quarts

**Q: Is this good for clay soil?**
A: Horticultural charcoal is good for just about any soil and clay is no different.  This will be a great additive for clay soil.  I live in a clay-heavy area of New England and this has worked great in my garden and overall yard plantings (not to mention potted plant soil). On this issue though, I will say if you do have a substantial majority of clay soil and the amount of topsoil that would be needed to noticably/fully improve it would be unrealistically cost prohibitive, a spring and summer of garden gypsum is absolutely critical to aid in creating a suitably draining soil.  Mix that with the charcoal and you'll see a marked improvement.  Good luck!

**Q: Is this good for growing moss?**
A: Biochar by itself is more alkaline whereas moss tends to prefer acidic type soil to grow.  So biochar by itself will not likely yield good results. however, Persist does sell a product called PAF which has a 3.2 acidity. We have seen moss grow when you add the PAF product with the biochar. I hope that helps,
