SUMMARY:Biochar Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:This event is POSTPONED due to expected weather conditions. This event page will be updated with a new date soon. Anyone who is interested in attending can use the sign-up form\, below\, to receive an email update when that new date is finalized.\nTransform wood waste into valuable soil amendment!\nJoin Liz Dupont-Diehl at The Hickories on Sunday\, July 19 for a demonstration on the process for creating biochar and a description of its history\, properties\, and uses. \nWear sturdy shoes and clothes to help tend the fire\, and bring a bucket if you want to bring home some raw biochar. \nFarmers and scientists are rediscovering biochar – a valuable soil amendment that can decrease the need for pesticides and watering\, and increase soil health and production. Biochar is a stable form of carbon which improves soil structure\, water retention\, and nutrient availability\, leading to healthier and more productive soils. It also helps fight climate change by capturing carbon in the soil rather than releasing it to the atmosphere. \nBiochar was the basis of Terra Preta\, or Black Earth\, found throughout the world where ancient people enriched their soil to allow it to produce abundant crops. \nThis event is part of CT NOFA’s Equipment Share Program and is FREE to attend but we request that you register (via the form\, below) so that we can notify attendees in the event that inclement weather forces rescheduling. \nLiz Dupont-Diehl has studied biochar with Kelpie Wilson\, author of The Biochar Handbook\, and has worked in advocacy\, nonprofits\, and journalism throughout Connecticut. She is currently an intern in the UConn Master Gardener Program and works for the CT Citizen Action Group. \n\n\n                \n                        \n                            Biochar Demonstration Registration\n                             \n                        \n                        Name(Required)\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        EmailThis event is contingent on weather conditions.
