Annelida Soil Solutions uses biochar in their Super Biochar product, which is designed to improve soil health . The biochar is locally sourced and sustainable, and it is inoculated with Annelida’s Premium Liquid Extract made from worm castings. This combination aims to enhance water retention, nutrient availability, soil aeration, and beneficial microbial activity in the soil.
