I was wondering if this recent cold snap in the PNW might delay the inoculation process of my char. I mix my char 50/50 with worm castings and I feed it molasses and rock flour and keep it moist (not quite a slurry like I've seen people do). I noticed the other day that it was quite frosty. I don't have room to bring it inside but the cold weather doesn't usually stick around. Any advice or similar experiences?

Most of our indoor tropical plants love our biochar soil amender. In particular corn plant, fiddlehead ficus, and monstera. It's got an NPK of 5-2-2 so it's pretty well rounded I think. One customer used it on her lemon tree and it doubled in size. Another said that her pitcher plant absolutely loved it.

Thanks so much for your reply John! I've got about 90 mylar bags left but I'll switch to the coffee valve bags after! https://www.suresoil.ca/

Hello, I recently started a small company called Sure Soil here in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The product is castings and char and some other good stuff. When I bagged the product up, some of the bags puffed up. I assume this was due to off gassing of (anaerobic?) bacteria and/or other microbes. Has anyone had any experience with this? Do you think using coffee bags with an outgassing valve would help?
