为你的农场租一个生物炭窑! This biochar kiln program is organized and sponsored by App State's NEXUS Project, 工作景观和韦德app. We are working together to provide Biochar kilns for farmers in the High Country.
Two types of kilns will be available to rent: Ring of Fire or the Oregon kiln. The Oregon kiln is good for small to medium size producers and makes up to 1.4立方码的生物炭大约需要4小时. You will need approximately 3-4 cubic yards of feedstock for one burn. The Ring of Fire is a good option if you would like to produce larger amounts of biochar or if multiple farms want to get together for a bigger burn. |
