Hello from Flow Farm

[FlowFarm]

As the title says, this is Flow Farm and we are based in Aberdeen, NC.

 

We are small farm with an educational and learning center and we have recently built an Adam Retort with the supervision by Peter Hirst from New England Biochar.

 

We had been using the barrel method for many years now but decided to build a masonry Adam Retort unit to char our stockpiles of pine and oak.

 

So far we have successfully raised our soil PH from an initial 4.5 fast draining to a 6.1 - 6.7 PH almost instantly.

 

Our trials with Spinach have been outstanding and we look forward to more promising results from our lettuce in the next few weeks.

Welcome FlowFarm, It's busy these days, but as the year unfolds I hope to follow your updates.

 

How much per acre brought up that pH? Are you reporting your results anywhere (like a local university)? What kind of char?
