The process of pyrolysis (the specific burning method used to make biochar) creates a large surface area with numerous tiny pores, providing an ideal environment for microbial colonization and nutrient retention, fostering healthier plant growth and overall soil ecosystem resilience.

Biochar activation involves saturating the charcoal with plant nutrients and beneficial microorganisms, by soaking it in compost tea, or mixing it in with vermicompost.
