Yes. Raw biochar should be inoculated before application.  To do this, it should be mixed with organic material, like compost or soaked in some type of inoculant such as a liquid fertiliser, liquid tea or worm tea.  Biochar is a perfect soil improver to work with, and enhance your current soil conditions as it binds the nutrients together.  

The biochar just needs to be moist to use. Apply as much fluid as is required to achieve this.  Allow to drain for an hour or so before using. 

A pinch of the biochar mix at your plant root zone is enough – a little, goes a long way! 

Apply the biochar sparingly in amount and ideally apply under the seed pod or within the root zone.  Dad’s Farm Tip – a little goes a long way!

As Dad’s Farm Wood Vinegar is a natural pesticide, there is no minimum wait-time after spraying before you can eat the produce, provided that the produce itself is fine to eat.  

After application, continue to monitor the fungus and black-fly situation.  If the issue has remedied, then you can stop applying the Wood Vinegar.   If it hasn’t or the issue returns then we would recommend that Dad’s Farm Wood Vinegar be re-applied.
