Agreed, that is the only downside. But cuts down my shovel and bucket processing from 2 hours to 15 minutes.
Yes, potting soil, in the garden beds, everything. Sucks up nutrients, water, life, great environment for biological life.
I just opened it up and scraped out the sludge, but putting some chips through is a good idea.
#biochar #grinding #wen #chipper chipping up the biochar with the when chipper takes about 20 minutes to do an entire batch. https://video.nostr.build/8bfd9d3f8c8df80eb8376e085b524187c1746e21909c87739d17ceeeb414949f.mp4

That is the one, pickup a funnel as well. I wet the biochar, dry is really dusty, I’ll scoop with the funnel and dump on top. Push through with a push stick. Try to get a bag or tote wrapped at the base.
If the biochar is wet, you will need to open and scrape the sludge down, no big deal.
It makes it into the perfect size, rice size and smaller.
Just to add life to the system, they also eat the mosquitos and other bugs.
#grownostr #ryegrass #mulberry I stuck a Mulberry cutting in a thing of ryegrass that was sitting on flowing water from the aquaponics system. It rooted, will transplant with no shock to the plant.

Check out the Wen wood chipper from Home Depot. 5 gallon bucket in about 15 minutes. Wear a mask :)
I’ve already given some to neighbors, people on the kids soccer team, I might have a problem :).
Yeah, i use plant pond baskets from Home Depot, hydroton clay balls, makes the system modular, easy to clean out. You can use lavarock, though it’s tough on your hands. Water is pumped in every 15 minutes, off for 15 during the day. Simple mechanical timer. Goldfish, koi, minnows in the pond below.
#mulberry #grownostr when is enough, enough? Propagating well. Makes me want to get on Facebook just to sell plants… ugh.

#mulberry #grownostr these trees are awesome, already have flowers for the next set of berries.

Propagating new plants, something different than working on the computer - tangible results. This is a bunch of mulberry trees.
