On the Ground Podcast – Episode 2: Sports Turf with Biochar

How can biochar transform sports turf management into a profitable, sustainable practice?

In this episode, we sit down with James Gaspard, CEO of Biochar Now (USA), to unpack a groundbreaking California golf course case study. After investing ~$300,000 AUD in biochar, the course achieved nearly $3 million in water savings over six years — delivering a return on investment in just six months.

We cover:

How biochar improves turf resilience, aesthetics, and soil health
The measurable ROI of water savings and reduced inputs
What makes turf an emerging, lucrative market for biochar worldwide
Practical lessons for golf courses, sports fields, and turf managers in Australia & New Zealand
