Summary of our Products & Services
WOOD RECEIVALS:
This is a FREE service. We take woody material from local households, farmers, landowners and businesses and convert it to biochar.
WOOD COLLECTION:
This is also a FREE service. But only to Macclesfield households, farmers and businesses. Please note the same restrictions apply as listed under Wood Receivals. In addition please ensure wood to be collected is located in one place and can be accessed by a normal motor vehicle.
We sell the biochar that we produce to members and non-members, retailers, local government, other local biochar producers, and producers of biochar-based products such as:
compost and soil supplements;
soil remediation media;
storm & waste water filtration systems;
pond & dam water remediation;
air filters etc.
ON-SITE PROCESSING:
Where a landowner prefers to process his woody material on his own property (eg to avoid loading and cartage costs) and use the resulting biochar directly on his own land we can offer a service to produce biochar on his property.
KILNS FOR GARDEN USE
Our small portable kilns are available to members to use for limited periods at no charge subject to agreement on proper use of the kiln to allow them to make their own biochar on their own land for their own use. (Note: The biochar so made will be counted towards our total production).
TRAINING COURSES:
The following training courses are offered:
- BIOCHAR BASICS
- BIOCHAR PRODUCTION
- SETTING UP A COMMUNITY BIOCHAR GROUP
APPLICATION NOTES:
See our range of free Application Notes to help you learn how to use biochar to best advantage.
SITE VISITS:
Visits to our production site are offered to groups (eg school groups; other community groups) that want to see biochar production in progress and learn about the practicalities of making biochar.
