I was told to get rid of this out of the kitchen , so one last post. 15 days from start of the experiment. It looks like (see previous posts) industrial #protected #urea has got a homemade competitor using #biochar from #rushes!
]]><![CDATA[Farmers can make their own coated urea!]]>Fri, 30 Jul 2021 11:25:50 GMThttps://www.biomasstobiochar.ie/blog/farmers-can-make-their-own-coated-ureaThere is a lot of talk about protected urea to reduce ammonia emissions. Prompted by a recent #TeagascJC tweet (LHS). I coated some urea in rush biochar and left for 4 days and here is the visual result! It looks like farmers can make their own coated urea using #biochar!

4 tanks x 700 L cattle slurry: 1 control & 3 with 10% biochar (furze, hazel & rush). Gas vol measured over 2 months.
Initial results:
Hazel no effect.
Furze biochar ~25% more gas than control
Rush biochar ~60% less gas than control!

A clue, zoom in on picture and compare the tops of the tanks.
