Locking Carbon Into Soil
Manage episode 333135188 series 2966694
"Which trees are the best wood to turn into charcoal? Is it beneficial to dig charcoal into the ground?"
A curious group of people, exploring a curious subject with real curiosity.
This is a slightly different episode to the norm, a bonus Friday release for you to get your thinking caps on with.
This bonus recording came about from when Stuart and William recently held a stall at the East Oxford Farmers' & Community market where the above question was set by a Julian Coates (Jules). It was felt to be such an interesting question, and that Jules had a lot to say on the subject, that he was invited as a guest, to further explore the topic he raised.
No-one on the recording, Jules included, were experts about the subject of charcoal, and its potential benefits to the soil, and a means to lock away the carbon we produce,. This didn't stop William, Stuart and Jules delving into this subject though, with some interesting insights, ideas and humour.
They talk about soil deficiency, how trees absorb a lot of from the air, including carbon. They then branch off into the subject of how your garden doesn't always need to be tidy.
