Sharing biochar

I have just finished filling in all of the places in my yard that I think might need biochar.  Biochar is now at the dripline of each tree or bush and within about 3 feet of every plant.  

I volunteer at one of the schools that I used to teach at.  I have brought in many trees to their school garden and started an arboretum.  However, the trees aren't growing as fast there as they are at my garden.  Why? No gardener lives there.  We can't pay as much attention there as we can to our own gardens.  Even so, I decided that one thing I can do is to bring in some of the biochar that I still have.  It has made a big difference in the health and the flavor of my trees.  I am going to try to start with an American persimmon, one of the trees that most quickly benefited from the biochar.  We'll see how it goes.

John,

I would enjoy hearing more details about your experience with biochar and trees.  How it progressed.  What worked well.  What you might do differently if you were starting new.  

I have started probably 30 threads in this forum.  Have you checked any of them? If there's a different, specific question, I'd be happy to answer it.  Also, I'm just one of many, many people who have made valuable posts in this topic.
