Amazonian Dark Earth
Recommended Uses: To enhance nutrient content in soil, can be mixed with existing soil
Amazonian Dark Earth - Archaeologists estimate that between 6 and 10 million people lived in the Amazon before the European conquest. They domesticated plants and animals, creating waste that they turned into compost over centuries, resulting in fertile soil known as Terra Preta.
Today, we create biochar by anaerobically burning organic waste, providing a stable substrate for microbes. Soil Seed and Water's Biochar is charged with our composted dairy manure, Dan's Gold, containing essential minerals and nutrients. By developing Biochar and using Dan's Gold Compost as a companion product, Soil Seed and Water brings Amazonian dark earth's magic to the modern world, enhancing soil health and sustainability.
