Solano County Biochar Kiln Loan Program
FreeEquipment loan · Free, from Solano Resource Conservation District
The district lends a biochar kiln so that landowners can turn woody material from fuel reduction, or from orchard and vineyard management, into biochar on their own land. A user manual and a public availability calendar are published with it.
Worth knowing what you are left with at the end. Biochar is a fine grained charcoal, and you do the burning yourself in the kiln: what the district lends is the tool, not a crew. It points to biochar helping soil hold water, cutting erosion and improving crop yields. Where this comes from
