Do you activate your biochar?

Yeah but the AG residues need to be free of plastic so your biochar is not contaminated with dioxins, right?

Make sure that you "CHARGE" the Biochar before you use it in your garden otherwise, it will just pull the beneficial goodness out of your soil in an effort to charge itself....
