I have a lot of twigs and branches and can get even more from the neighbours, it is a HUGE pile. I thought of producing
biochar instead of cutting it up for the
compost pile, because it is exhausting with secateurs.
I saw two designs on the net one is this Jolly Roger
oven and the other one is either and earth pit or o metal cone.
Does the production of biochar produce smoke? (We have a terrible neighbour close by which tried to bring another neighbour in trouble).
Which of the designs is better suited to produce quality biochar?
Which of the designs is better suited to go through bigger piles?
Is it OK to use more or less green
wood? Everything bigger will be cut up in
firewood, I will use only thin sticks and twigs sometimes with leaves on them.
