Case Study: Rexius Compost and Soil Producer

Soil nutrient values optimized with biochar + compost

Rexius started out by creating two compost windrows, one with biochar and one without. In the windrow with 5% biochar by volume added, the compost-biochar had more moisture, nitrates and other nutrients than the pile without biochar. Overall, the quality was better in the biochar windrow.

Results:

Since starting to use biochar in the composting process, Rexius has discovered the following:

  • Continued to record higher nutrient values in their biochar + compost than compost without biochar.
  • Higher beneficial plant bacteria and microbes compared to compost without biochar.
  • Both the higher nutrients and more beneficial microbes create a higher value soil product that commands a better price for their home gardening potting and garden soils product lines.
  • Biochar has seen to also help stabilize the soil whereas compost alone can degrade relatively quickly.
