At this first field day of 2024, we will make our own batch of biochar and explore some of the many uses it has on the farm. Biochar can improve soil health by providing habitat for soil microbes and is especially powerful when combined with microbial inoculation. Another helpful application is the use of biochar to filter irrigation water that is heavily saline or contains certain toxins.

If you have been curious about biochar and would like to learn simple and low-cost methods to make and apply it, this field day is for you.

• When: Wednesday, May 1, 2024 from 9am-3pm with lunch provided
• Where: This field day will be hosted at Annie’s Herb Farm in La Mesilla (Española) and led by James and Joyce Skeet of Spirit Farm.
