Seed2Bloom said:I just started making some of my own biochar. Not sure on the results yet. I get mine down to the size of 1/4 or smaller. Mixes into the soil nicely.
The problem is I do not know what people want. Do they want the chunks? A finished product? And what size?

From my reading, it is my understanding that the smaller the better - gives more surface area to the biochar. Although I have to use a hammer to crunch mine up, so my pieces are about 1/4" at the smallest. I did purchase some that was pretty much powdered, but it is not very economical for me to purchase, so back to my hammer I go.
