>>2434560Hello frens, an elderly coworker of mine recently approached me to ask if I could help her set up her soil for a compact but productive garden next year, she owns 5 acres of property (3 of which is wooded), and she wishes to grow a variety of crops, the majority of which will need structure from something like biochar since it's all mostly Georgia clay and doesn't hold water too well.
I understand how to make biochar pretty well, but it's pretty hazy on how you actually put it into the soil, do you just spread it on top? Mulch up the topsoil a bit and mix it in (she owns a tractor so thats ok)? maybe a little of both? All the videos i've seen just kind of gloss over how to put it on the soil or only use it in relation to greenhouses or raised beds. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
>Just use wood chipsEverything i've read thus far says that those take a good few years to really break down depending on conditions so I want something more "ready to use" by the soil microorganisms so that she can start using them to her advantage next spring. Also we plan to use a covercrop to overwinter in case that matters
