Peat moss has been a cornerstone of the horticultural and floriculture industries for over a century. While a natural product, peat develops slowly and is a critical carbon sync for the ecosystem. Using a v/v mixture of biochar and a commercial potting media, both crops will be grown following commercial protocol. An analysis will be conducted on the finished crop quality and media properties to determine if biochar is a viable additive for spring annuals.
