Fruit & Veg with Biochar — On-the-Ground Series

In the first episode of ANZBIG’s on-the-ground series, we dive into two real-world horticulture trials featured in our Farmer’s Guide. Mayo Ryan (CTOS Group) walks us through a vineyard biochar trial—covering the site, soils, climate, biochar type and rates, and how it was applied alongside practices like compost and irrigation management. Then Russell Burnett (Rainbow Bee Eater) shares the Ballarat potato trial—trial design, soil/treatment layout, biochar incorporation, and adjustments to inputs.

Together we explore early signals in soil moisture, nutrient cycling, structure, vine health and grape quality, plus what’s emerging on potato yields, profitability, and input efficiency. You’ll also hear the challenges, what they’d do differently, and practical advice for growers considering biochar.

🎧 Next up: Sports Turf & Biochar—our Californian golf course case with James Gaspard (Biochar Now), where a A$300k biochar purchase at ~A$3,000/t delivered nearly A$3M in water savings over six years—~6-month payback.
