Want to know more about how you are applying fungi and biochar. Are you putting piochar into the tune of theYardYielsd and then runner ng water through it? What is the form of the fungi and how are you applying it.

I make built char at home, though its probably low quality as it is all from for trees.

I am using amf fungi thats arboscular mycorrhizal fungi you buy in packets because I haven't started making that yet. I have been using that stuff for years for trees but didn't realise until a few years ago it was good for grass and other plants too! There is bokashi going in with that, in the bokashi there is biochar dust and I have been crudely grinding up extra to go in with that using just a slab and heavy branch. Didn't mention that in the post so good guess 😆.

At the moment I am mixing it together and pouring it down as most of the water sources I have are chlorinated but I have a filter on one so I will be able to test with some pressure in due course.

Thank you for sharing this info! I used to have a little setup for making bokashi that I kept by the kitchen sink but my wife complained that it smelled. ; )

I'm inspired to get that going again!

Your welcome, perhaps mix some biochar in with the bokashi bran and make sure you put enough and drain it regularly that should keep the smell down.

Even if you use more bran you can always scale up the microbes later in an airlock with some molasses etc.
