The farm is in a very rural, remote location – which is why it’s so surprising that Google actually got around to driving the neighborhood – but they did. You can even see the bottom part of our tea field clearly from the road, since the camera on the Google van is a bit higher than a person. Try the link: http://goo.gl/maps/khJt
How does biochar fits into our farm? I scribbled a flowchart onto paper, and today put it into the computer; it looks like this:
Ideally, it’s a continuously flowing cycle; there is no “waste” and no need for unsustainable inputs; that’s the goal. The chickens provide meat and eggs to the humans, and poop to the compost cycle; the biochar stabilizes the nutrients in the urine and compost, making them plant-available longer. You can see how the compost pile is the engine in the middle of everything.
