Soil Amending Properties of Charcoal
| Division: | Internationale / Aucun | | Catégorie: | Intermédiaire | | Région: | Vancouver Island | | Ville: | Duncan, BC | | École: | Frances Kelsey Secondary | | Sommaire: | This experiment tested the ability of charcoal to retain and release nutrients and water, compared to gravel of the same approximate size as the control. Nutrients and water were passed through home-constructed cartridges of charcoal and of gravel. A colorimeter was used to determine the concentration of the nutrients retained and subsequently released, and charcoal was found to have superior retention and slower release. |
