Korean Natural Farming holds the highest success rate for reforesting the gobi desert- 98% success. Master Cho has delineated the symbiotic role of biochar with Indigenous microbes in this triump of method in restoring natural balance.
Biochar creates pockets in the soil where beneficial microbes can thrive through access to aeration and nutrient access. Master CHo who invented Korean natural farming likens including biochar in planting to offering natural microbes the opportunity for life in New York city! there is always somethig fun to do there at any time of the day or night! Just 5% biochar laid on top of the soil with a sprinkle of indigenous microbes after dark- is all it takes. In many countries invasive woody species are consuming natural resource reservoirs and farmland. Farmers cannot farm without worries of unwanted or undesirable plants. How to control these to maximize food production is a challenge. Invasive vegetation control costs Americans alone $138 billion a year affecting farmland, aquatic and forest ecosystems. Making Biochar, which can be then dug into the earth, transforms these invasive woody species into useful carbon sequestering resources. Considering the massive amounts of weed trees on the island of Hawaii there are plenty of opportunities to encorporate the use of biochar into the landscape.
