Going for gold

Want your garden to thrive and be more climate friendly? Carbon Gold has a range of biochar products that can help

What is biochar, you may ask? Well, it’s a charcoal made from sustainably sourced wood, and it can be used as an alternative to harmful, non-sustainable peat-based composts with chemical pesticides and fertilisers. That’s why Royal Warrant holder Carbon Gold has created a whole range of biochar products for everyone from green keepers and crop growers to home gardeners and allotmenteers.

Not only does biochar sequester carbon into the soil, reducing CO2 levels that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, but it also aids soil fertility by retaining nutrients and moisture. As a result, it can help enhance lawns and trees, enrich soil biology, rejuvenate compost and even boost houseplant health. Plus, it can hold up to six times its weight in water, making it an ideal way to reduce water consumption, while still ensuring plant vitality.

What’s more, Carbon Gold enriches its British-made biochar products with multiple strains of fungi, bacteria and minerals to further support healthy growth, and they’re Soil Association approved for organic growing. Why not try one in your garden? You can really bring your grass to life with Carbon Gold’s Biochar Lawn Improver.

It helps create luscious green grass while improving the soil structure beneath, making it perfect for laying down seeds, boosting your lawn or sowing new grasses. It’s a game-changer for the garden and is commonly used by sports turf professionals for golf and bowling greens, racecourses and football pitches, as it helps grass roots to grow quickly, making it super resilient and dense without the use of any chemicals.

Meanwhile, Carbon Gold’s Soil Improver is great if you want strong, productive vegetables. It increases organic matter in the soil and is packed full of natural biology, so it can be used as a compost or soil additive in any soil environment – including clay or sandy soil. You’ll also find it provides long-term health benefits, giving plants a biology boost, improving vitality and water retention. It will encourage quicker establishment and root growth too.
