### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Knowledge from Ancient Cultures for Your Garden
*by D***R on January 16, 2019*

Author Jeff Cox takes an old technique and updates it for use in today’s world. Biochar is a method designed to increase the soil efficiency through the carbonized cellular structure of charcoaled organic matter. Basically, charred wood.Mr. Cox takes us on a detailed history of how ancient cultures seem to have inadvertently stumbled across this technique, which has left a soil history we can still examine. He gives a few examples in the book of larger farms and their success in using the biochar method, then details how backyard gardeners could employ biochar to increase their own yields. The book is loaded with pictures and the layout of pictures and text is professional. A glossary of biochar definitions, a bibliography, and a list of organizations and manufacturers round out the book.The directions on how to dig a conical pit and burn materials to successfully create biochar are detailed, as are the instructions on how to build a TLUD (Top-Lift Up-Draft) stove (I’ve also seen this referred to elsewhere as Top-Lift Updraft gasifiers). Mr. Cox has supplied the most comprehensive steps to building this yourself, and the accompanying pictures are very helpful. The author also supplies different methods to inoculate your homemade biochar, making it ready for your garden.Mr. Cox is cautious with his examples of proof that adding biochar works, notably citing one test that indicated a modest 7% increase in food production. While this eliminated the hype associated with some other books on this topic, it also dampened my enthusiasm. Ultimately, it seems like a lot of work for a single-digit increase in veggies. The book is also much smaller (content-wise) than its listed number of pages. That professional layout with full-color pictures, at the very least, doubles this book in size.Like everything else, though, incorporating homemade biochar into your composting and garden-feeding routines could have a positive impact on the quality of your garden. I personally split enough wood and create enough wood chips each year to give this idea a try. The detailed instructions and helpful pictures are the best I’ve experienced. Four-and-a-half stars.My thanks to NetGalley and Storey Publishing for an advance complimentary ebook.
