Our AgriCarb-GAC is a low activation level granular activated carbon produced from macadamia nut shells using an autogenous steam activation process. Macadamia nut shells are sourced locally as a waste material from the annual harvest of macadamia nuts. AgriCarb-GAC is therefore produced from a sustainable and renewable source. The end product is a high-density carbon structure with a developed internal porous structure, lending itself towards adsorption processes.
The addition of such a carbon to a soil adds multiple benefits:
For soil mixtures intended for container plants including bonsai, add between 2 - 5% AgriCarb-GAC of the total soil volume.
To increase the yield of vegetables in the garden, add roughly 500g of carbon per m2 prior to planting, digging the carbon into the soil to a depth within reach of the plant roots. (You can also combine it with other soil amendments such as manure, compost or lime and work these in simultaneously.)
Carbon is not a substitute for a balanced fertilizer regime, however it does suspend available nutrients making them available to plant roots over an extended period.
I repotted my orchids in a mixture of bark, perlite and the agricultural carbon. So far my plants seem really happy and the charcoal provides great drainage so that the roots don’t stay soggy. I would definitely keep on using the agricultural carbon in the future when repotting my orchids. Definitely worth it!
I bought this product because I was looking for a chunkier charcoal to add to my mix for my hoyas. This product does not disappoint and a little goes a long way! Will repurchase.
I used it as a filter under spagnum moss to rehabilitate a orchid that had rotten roots. Its works fantastic! Good price for a good quality product. Shipping was also fast and packaged well. Made me feel special <3
From the year I started using it, foliage on all trees improved.It will always be a part of my mix. R.D.
Wonderful packaging and an excellent product. I used this in a substrate mix for my Vivarium. Quality!
