Fed 'n Happy Biochar: A Permanent Home for Soil Life

Fed 'n Happy Biochar is the stable carbon backbone of Basecamp™, now available on its own. Whether you're building new garden beds, rescuing soil that dries out too fast, or improving a field year after year, biochar gives your soil the structure it needs to hold on to water, nutrients and life.

Biochar is plant material that has been heated with very little oxygen, leaving a highly porous form of carbon. Every piece is full of tiny pores that hold moisture and nutrients where roots can reach them, and give beneficial microbes a protected place to live and multiply.

Healthy soil holds on to what you give it. Biochar helps it get there.

What's in Our Biochar

• 100% biochar
• The same biochar we blend into Basecamp™
• Nothing else. No fillers or added chemicals.

What It Does

• Holds water: soil stays moist longer between rains or irrigation
• Keeps nutrients in the root zone: less leaching, so more of your fertility gets used
• Improves soil structure: loosens heavy clay and adds holding power to sandy soil
• Houses soil biology: a huge internal surface area gives microbes a long-term home

What That Means for You

• Plants and crops that handle heat and dry spells better
• Better performance from the fertilizer you already use
• A more biologically active soil environment
• Soil that keeps improving, because biochar lasts for years

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between biochar and Basecamp™?
Biochar is pure carbon structure. Basecamp™ blends our biochar with worm castings and composted organic material, so it arrives already charged with biology. Choose biochar to build your own blend, and Basecamp™ for a ready-to-use soil builder.

Is biochar a fertilizer?

No. Biochar holds water and nutrients and houses microbes, but it adds very little nutrition on its own. Pair it with castings, compost or your current fertility program.

How long does biochar last?

Biochar is very stable and stays in the soil for years, so you don't need to reapply it every season.

How is biochar shipped, and what does FOB Park City mean?
You can pick up your order at Park City, KS, or we can arrange shipping. FOB (Free on Board) Park City means ownership and responsibility pass to you once the carrier picks up and signs for the order. From that point you own the product in transit, and any freight damage claims go through the carrier.

Simple Truth
