  • great product.
Size: 10lb
very uniform. spreads amazing for lawn. good value compared to other bio char. for garden use compost first.. if spreading around trees or shrubs you will need extra nitrogen. after composting, dont let it dry out to much. i smelled some ammonia evaporating. i was planning on letting it dry completely to spread but i think im losing the nitrogen. its a great product to play around with. compost with other fine materials like flour or animal feed for a very fine finished product. it didnt absorb all that fishy smell from that 5-1-1 stuff. i even found some other uses for this stuff. works great as a kitty litter additive. ... show more

  • Pretty sure this is good stuff...
Size: 10lb
I applied this with a bag of PGF Complete 10-10-10 initially. And then followed up with another bag of PGF a month later. And in combination, they brought my lawn back from critical condition. So pretty happy with that.

  • Great stuff, but an issue with charging?
Size: 30lb
Biochar is a great soil amendment, but it's basically a sponge so it needs to be charged or it will drain nutrients from the turf for the first year or so. 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. ... show more

  • Good First Impression
Size: 30lb
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". ... show more

  • Could be smoke & mirrors but does it work? YES
Size: 30lb
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. ... show more

  • Great product - will purchase again
Size: 10lb
The consistently sized, spherical granules make this product a breeze to apply using a spreader. I used mine in my garden and my newly seeded lawn to improve the health of my poor soil. My plants are loving it! The granules break apart when you add water, which makes them go down into the soil quickly. ... show more

  • Improvement of soil in First season!
Size: 10lb
The easiest additive I've used to modify and enhance soil. I won't have all the answers to my new soil mix until after the fall harvest, but I can say that so far on the spring plants- eggplant, green peppers, hot peppers, tomatoes. In each 25 lbs of rich dark soil, I added 15 lbs of Miracle Grow for garden vegetables, and 16ozs of BioChar. On harvesting as of Aug.1, 2021, we have harvested over 2 dozen Sweet 100s, 4 eggplant, 1 hot pepper. ... show more
