Charcoal made from brush can increase your soil’s fertility and help slow climate change.

That really makes sense to me! What a great idea. I am going to have to look into this for our garden this year.

Great article! We have a pile of woody debris in two corners of our yard! I need to contact our city to see if I could do this (I don't want to get arrested) Do you think if I did a fire in a legal fire pit and put it out at the charcoal stage- would it still be benficial? I know the article talked about restricting oxygen access..
