Covering up to 15,000 sq ft per 30 lb bag, it improves soil structure by attracting nutrients and moisture, promoting healthier, more resilient plants while reducing fertilizer dependency. Its low-dust, spherical formulation ensures easy, clean application across lawns, gardens, and potted plants, making it a must-have for sustainable, professional-grade soil management. ## Description The Andersons Biochar DG is an OMRI-listed all-natural and organic soil conditioner designed to build stronger, healthier plants and soils. As the only biochar-based product formulated with DG Technology, Biochar DG's carbon-rich particles disperse within seconds of coming in contact with water, moving the biochar into the soil and down to the root zone. Biochar DG works by attracting nutrients and water, making all of these things more available to the plant. Biochar DG also works to retain moisture near plant roots, providing the best opportunity for strong, healthy plant growth. If top-applied, Biochar DG does not require any pre-charging or pre-loading, as the product will pre-load itself as it moves through the top layers of your soil. Biochar DG is perfect for mixing in with compost or soil for gardens, flower beds, and potted plants, along with seeding and sodding applications for lawns. Apply Biochar DG anytime during the growing season, up to once/month. Applications over time will build-up your soil's ecosystem, improving its ability to hold nutrients, retain water, and improve growth and yield. Review: look I’m not a scientist not a lawn expert but I can spot a great, green lawn from a mile away & since using this product my lawn (really the soil underneath) significantly. I have a hybrid Bermuda lawn in North Texas & apply this product as often as I can afford (a bit pricy) usually 4 - 6 heavy applications per year for the last 3 years. you will not get an instant green like a nitrogen fertilizer, you actually might not notice much until a couple of applications but the first thing I noticed was how dark brown the dirty underneath was getting (North Texas has a very heavy clay soil, no top soil was added to the new build & we get very little rainfall so the ground is normally hard and grey). I attribute the deep, dense, green grass growth after to the quality of the soil. There is a visible line in the soil level where my yard ends & my neighbors begins. What this product does, I don’t know, I lay it down heavy, water it in, pray for rain & green grass grows! Disclaimer : I used this product in conjunction with other products throughout the year, I don’t know what it would do on its own. Review: This was my first experience with The Andersons products. Received this yesterday and immediately put in on the lawn in advance of some upcoming rain. Was very pleasantly surprised at how little dust it had and how well it spread. I've used other products that really gummed up the spreader, but this stuff almost scrubbed the spreader, and cleanup was minimal. Well done, Andersons, on the making a product that spreads so well. It's too early to tell how much this helps my soil and it's very expensive, but the initial impression was very good. The only minor nits to pick are that UPS significantly damaged the box (completely tore a section) for one of the bags but the bag was fortunately intact, and that it took a day and a half for the shipment to be picked up once the "label was printed". ## Features - Improves soil health with particles designed to attract nutrients and water, making these more available for plants - Builds rich, carbon-heavy soil that requires less fertilizer for plant growth - Easy-to-apply spherical, uniform, low-dust formulation -- Features DG Technology, which allows particles to disperse with water, moving immediately into the soil - Ideal for seeding and composting applications on lawns, gardens, flower beds, potted plants, etc. - Not for sale in California and Oregon ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B088XFRMRS | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (316) | | Date First Available | 24 June 2025 | | Manufacturer | The Andersons | | Package Dimensions | 71.12 x 43.18 x 6.35 cm; 13.61 kg | ## Product Details - **Brand:** The Andersons - **Item weight:** 30 Pounds - **Style:** Custom ## Images ![BioChar DG Organic Soil Amendment - Covers up to 15,000 sq ft (30 lb) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71W1gCiuXKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this just be spread on the lawn without fertilization?** A: Yes. This is more like a soil conditioner that will make future fertilization more effective. **Q: How would I use this product in indoor 5gallon potted plants?** A: This is a good question. BioChar improves existing soils helping keep nutrients from leaching out during watering. BioChar is NOT a fertilizer. BioChar will stay in the soil (5 gallon pot) and never leave. The "Char" factor is actually derives from charcoal, very porous, and holds nutrients in place for roots. You can simple distribute on the surface, and water it in. Or, stir up the surface soils in your pot THEN add the BioChar. You want the BioChar to get down around the roots as much as possible. You a can add this product every month (1 or 2 Cups) just before fertilizing as it will absorption of nutrients. Depending on how many plants you have to care for, one bag will last a long time. BE SURE and seal up the bag well for storage of the leftover, or move the BioChaar to a container with a tight lid. Hope this helps. **Q: Can I use this as I would activated charcoal for my philodendrons?** A: I don't know how much activated charcoal you use on your philodendrons but on any plant item, for this Bio Char you would be doing a mix quantity of one tbsp of Bio Char to 3-4 gallons of plain soil, then add some fertilizer equal to just enough for the plants your going to plant but not enough to burn fresh or tender roots. So if your flowers are brand new babies, there would need to be a bunch to meet that demand as noted on measures and quantities noted above. **Q: How often can I apply to the lawn?** A: As often as you want. Your just adding carbon to your soil, not chemicals or nutrients so you can apply every 2 weeks if you want! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***E on 20 July 2022* look I’m not a scientist not a lawn expert but I can spot a great, green lawn from a mile away & since using this product my lawn (really the soil underneath) significantly.

One reviewer here was (correctly) concerned with this so I contacted The Andersons. They kindly replied that the product was charged. Maybe they meant it was charged to my debit card, because after applying to my lawn at the labelled rates, I noticed the grass slowly turned slightly yellow and the growth was stunted. After another few days I applied Scott's Green Max and watered that in with fish fertilizer and liquid kelp. Now, the grass is back to green and looks great. This (and biochar in general) is great stuff but use knowing that it may require you to return some nutrients to the turf after application. It will improve your soil over the long term, though. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Andersons BioChar DG Organic Soil Amendment - Covers up to 15,000 sq ft (30 lb) - The Andersons Humic DG Organic Soil Amendment - Covers up to 40,000 sq ft (40 lb) - The Andersons Professional PGF Complete 16-4-8 Fertilizer with Humic (40lb) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/741113455-biochar-dg-organic-soil-amendment-covers-up-to-15-000](https://www.desertcart.us/products/741113455-biochar-dg-organic-soil-amendment-covers-up-to-15-000) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
