Horticultural Charcoal

Horticultural charcoal differs from regular charcoal in its production and purpose. Made from organic materials through pyrolysis, horticultural charcoal is lightweight and porous, improving soil drainage, aeration, and nutrient retention while offering antibacterial and antifungal benefits. Regular charcoal, often used for cooking, is denser and may contain harmful additives, making it unsuitable for gardening

Horticultural charcoal benefits plants by improving soil drainage, aeration, and nutrient retention, creating a healthier root environment. Its porous structure helps retain moisture and supports beneficial microorganisms. Additionally, when applied on top of the soil, horticultural charcoal can act as a barrier, preventing insects from laying eggs and reducing pest issues. This versatile amendment not only enhances soil quality but also promotes overall plant health.
