Inoculation methods-containers

There is a general consensus, backed up by empirical results, that if you don't inoculate your biochar, it is going to set back its ability to add to the fertility cycles by a year or so.  Some people inoculate on dry ground with compost over time.  Others burn their biochar in a trench in the ground. They might add something to the trench to inoculate it.

Today I am asking about methods for inoculating in containers.  From time to time, I like to check in with others to see what methods they are using.  This is mainly how I grow and develop my philosophy of my system for making biochar.  Since I burn my biochar in a 55 gallon TLUD, I crush it right there afterwards on my driveway in between two panels of plywood.  Then I inoculate it.  I agree with many others on this list that there is no one "right" way, but this is a way that works well for me.

To inoculate it, I mix it with whole wheat flour, ag lime, rotten wood mycelium, compost, rotten fruit, urine, and seaweed.  I put it in a 5 gallon bucket and  I drench it once a day with this liquid mix, then pour it out, so it remains aerobic.  I do this for two weeks, then I dig it into the garden.

What method of inoculation do you use?

I just doused a trough of  char with anaerobic weed/pee tea.
It was an impulse decision, draining it may prove difficult/disgusting.
I usually just use rainwater and then toss the char into the chicken run.
This time it's destined to become part of a container mix.

Although I live in a suburban area and I'm a gardener, I would be interested in hearing from all different scales of inoculation.  Some processes that hobby farmers, homesteaders and even large farmers use can be scaled down to even plots smaller than mine in a city.

I was watching a video and they discussed using comfrey tea. As a permaculturalist, I have many comfrey plants and it would be easy to make some of that and add it to the inoculation, but I haven't tried it before. I may try this upcoming year.
