Planting Tip 1

Prior to planting, pre-wet Terix Biochar until water stops being absorbed. As a guide, about 200ml to 300ml of water should be added to each litre of biochar. This fills the biochar with plant available water.

Planting Tip 2

Ensure Terix Biochar is evenly distributed in the mix of soil or potting mix. This encourages roots to grow evenly as they seek the water held in the biochar.
