There are a lot of fancy ways to make Biochar, but I prefer the simple slash pile method.
We burn slash (dead branches) anyway to reduce hazardous fuels around our home, so why not make charcoal for the garden!?
Lots of people make biochar a science, but I tend to see it more as an art.
π₯ Please burn responsibly.

Now the buds are swelling faster, faster, faster until they finally unfurl their blossoms and leaves.
That moment is nearly upon us here!
What are the tree buds doing in your climate?
