I have a request for another compost test... can our TexChar inoculate a NEW compost pile and then after inoculated, can this compost inoculate newly manufactured biochar?
Love this thought, Mike! Inoculating a compost pile (specifically GOM - ‘ground-up organic matter’ or industrial compost) with a source of biodiverse compost would be much more effective than using biochar. While TexChar does contain beneficial soil life (yay!), the microbial activity in a gram of biodiverse compost is significantly higher.
I find biochar valuable for many reasons, but inoculation is not one of them. This isn’t a negative—it simply means biochar and biological inoculants serve different purposes!
For instance, a biochar + biodiverse compost extract could be a great approach to improving the quality of a pile of GOM - the biochar could make the substrate more hospitable to a microbiome that’s introduced by way of the highly active extract.
