"We're sequestering carbon that's important for helping to combat climate change."

@TomBott10 from the university's Biochar Demonstrator appeared on @SkyNews' The Climate Show discussing the benefits of biochar.

Good to speak to @SkyNews about trials we’re conducting as part of @TheBiocharDemo to assess the potential of biochar as a GGR technique & soil amendment in agricultural soils.

@Izzyeames1 @steveridsda @AllertonProject @JoeWStanley @TheBiocharDemo @Cereals_Ana Straw can be used for biochar! As straw isn’t the most nutrient rich feedstock it likely won’t have a fertilising effect but will still sequester C. FYM once dried might work and would have a higher nutrient content… but like biosolids needs drying.

Soil sampling at the small-scale experimental plots for the @TheBiocharDemo. These plots are exploring different biochars, with repeated annual applications, on arable fields. Amazing weather for January!!

Funding Announcement!
Are you an Early Careers Researcher (ECR) with an interest in biochar? The Biochar Demonstrator Flexible Fund is open until the 3/2/23.
The awards of up to £40k (80% fEC) will support projects investigating gaps in biochar research.

[The Biochar Demonstrator @TheBiocharDemo]

Our soil sampling is now underway on our trial fields!

We deployed #biochar at 10 t/ha on arable and pasture fields across England, and will be monitoring over the next 3+ years to uncover the impact biochar has on our soils!

Spot the biochar! Field sampling and planning with the @AllertonProject today for the @TheBiocharDemo.

Applying #biochar in front of direct drilled winter wheat as part of @TheBiocharDemo.

What role can #biochar play in improving soil health & increasing soil carbon sequestration? 🤷

Huge thank you to LB @MONTANEuk for the amazing repair on my beloved prism jkt... look forward to another another few years of #furtherfaster with it.

@sportsshoes_com @studentbeans Parcel has arrived already! Impressed with the shipping speed not so sure about the surprise extra tenner on the bill...

[Tom Bott @TomBott10]

@studentbeans & @sportsshoes_com what happened? I had discount applied when I paid but I've been invoiced & charged full price!
