The Earthshine Biochar blend is a fast and easy way to boost the performance of new soil, reuse your old soil, and improve the effectiveness of compost teas and mycorrhizae products. This amazing product will save any gardener money by reducing soil costs, improving fertilizer use and reducing water use over the gardening season.
Biochar and its use in amending soil is an age old Native American technique that has been around for over a thousand years. It is based upon the observation that after a forest fire occurs the surrounding vegetative growth is tremendously more robust then areas that were not affected by the fires. The fire creates rich deposits of carbon in the soil, increases soil fertility and encourages microbial activity. Earthshine mimics this incredible process and thereby brings new life to your garden.
The International Biochar Initiative has recognized Biochar’s ability to rejuvenate soil carbon levels, sequester CO2, reduce nutrient runoff, and increase water use efficiency. We blend our Biochar with glacial rock dust, soybean meal, humic acid, and worm castings to create a complete soil rejuvenating product.
Odor and Appearance: Since this is considered a fermented fertilizer product (and biologically active) over time a fermented wine or yeast smell may occur due to the breaking down of nutrients in the product or soil. This is safe, natural and completely normal. Store in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight until application.

What does GreenGro Biologicals Earthshine Biochar Blend do for garden soil?
GreenGro Biologicals Earthshine Biochar Blend boosts soil fertility, encourages microbial activity, reduces nutrient runoff, and improves water use efficiency. The blend combines biochar with glacial rock dust, soybean meal, humic acid (5% derived from Leonardite), and worm castings to create a complete soil-rejuvenating amendment suitable for new soil, recycled old soil, compost teas, and top dressing.
Can GreenGro Earthshine Biochar Blend be used to recycle and reuse old growing soil?
Yes, GreenGro Earthshine Biochar Blend is specifically designed to recycle old soil, with a recommended application rate of 1 lb. per 4 cubic feet of used soil. For larger projects, 30 lbs. of Earthshine will treat approximately 2 cubic yards of old soil.
How do you use GreenGro Earthshine Biochar Blend when transplanting or boosting new soil?
For transplanting, add 1 tablespoon of GreenGro Earthshine Biochar Blend per 6-inch potting hole. When boosting new soil, use 1 lb. per 6 cubic feet of soil, or for large-scale applications, 30 lbs. will treat 1 pallet of new soil.
How can GreenGro Earthshine Biochar Blend be used with compost teas, and is there a flowering-stage application?
GreenGro Earthshine Biochar Blend works as a compost tea accelerator at a rate of 1 to 2 tablespoons per 5 gallons of tea. For a flowering-cycle transition top dress, apply 1 cup of Earthshine per 4x4 foot soil surface area during the first week of the flowering stage.
Is GreenGro Earthshine Biochar Blend an organic product, and is the formula safe to handle?
GreenGro Earthshine Biochar Blend is an organic-based powder amendment and is not classified as a hazardous material. Over time, a fermented wine or yeast odor may develop as the biologically active nutrients break down, which is completely normal and safe. Store the 5 lb. bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight until application.
