Trying something new with making the #biochar. Some people who have being this far longer than I have like Cuauhtemoch Villa quench the char directly with some microbes like this bokashi extension . Apparently it imparts something to the char I assume like the bioceramic making process which is clay fermented with em and then fired. Obviously this kills the microbes but the ceramic continues to emit infrared light after the process! 🤔

Well I tried it and it certainly puts the fire out a lot faster.🤷

Ooh now I need to look up bioceramics. Fermented clay?! Sounds very me

Yeah should be possible to DIY it 🙂. Might have to give it a go too.

If you'd cut the saddle out so the bung hole was at the bottom you could tap of the quech water as use that in the garden as it would have a lot of the finings in it.

Yeah I will do that on the next one perhaps also learning soap making too as a result. This one has had so many firings its full of holes and I ended up putting the bit I cut out in the bottom just to stop some of the airflow.

I just listened to that podcast. I am going to start doing the same

Ferrous sulphate is another one to potentially try for paramagnetic properties. Just don't like the idea of there possibly being sulphur fumes, so I am going to stick with rock dust for now.

Good to know.

Are those artichokes or cardoons?

Henry 10mo ago

You know what I don't actually know for sure, they weren't bought by me originally they were there for the bees and ornamental reasons I have not tried eating them. However thinking about how they shrug off all but the coldest weather we have here and always return they are more than likely cardoons.

Cardoons are definitely a little hardier.
