Biochar — a charcoal-like substance produced from sources like wood chips, manure and agriculture waste — is being used in Cincinnati as a soil additive. It is created by heating wood chips without oxygen.
On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss how this material is being used in the Tri-State, for efforts like increasing the tree canopy and building more resilient gardens.
