Charcoal

Charcoal for your own soil mix.

Our charcoal is produced from untreated forest residual wood with bark. The coniferous and deciduous wood originates from sustainable forestry and is processed by pyrolysis at approximately 600 °C.

Raw material and properties

• Raw material: 100 % untreated forest residual wood with bark
• Granulation: 0–10 mm
• pH value (CaCl₂): 8.9, alkaline
• Water content: approx. 20–30 % of fresh mass

Nutrients and other values

Based on dry mass: Total nitrogen (N) 0.6 % (of which water-soluble < 0.05 %), total phosphate (P₂O₅) 0.15 %, total potassium oxide (K₂O) 0.7 %, organic substance (loss on ignition) 85.0 %, organic carbon (Corg) 78.5 % and raw ash 15.0 %.

Usage

Before use, mix for at least two weeks with compost, manure, or organic liquid fertiliser. Do not incorporate pure into the root area. Incorporate once 0.5–1.5 litre per square metre into the top soil layer. Charcoal does not replace fertiliser.

Storage and advice

Store in a cool, dry, and closed place. Avoid dust formation and do not inhale dust. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Not suitable for consumption.
