It turns out that the leftovers after 'hanging out' by the fire can be transformed into a valuable tool for improving yields in the garden. The fact is that this is real 'black gold' for your plants, so you shouldn't throw away the coal from the grill.

Experienced gardeners have explained how the leftovers from the kebabs, known as biochar, can increase the yield in your garden.

How to increase yields in the garden with coal from the fire

Charcoal contains a huge number of microscopic pores that affect the soil in several ways. Firstly, biochar acts on the soil as a reservoir for water, absorbing excess moisture after rain and releasing it to the plants during drought. Secondly, the remains from the fire prevent nutrients from leaching out of the soil. Thirdly, this coal aerates the soil well, improving air exchange in the root system and helping plants absorb nutrients, resulting in better soil structure.

To improve yields in the garden, wait until the coal from the grill has completely cooled down, then crush it to a fraction size of 0.5 to two centimeters. To do this, place the coal in a sturdy bag and gently tap it with a hammer.

In spring or autumn during the digging of the plot, incorporate this coal into the soil in the garden. For one square meter, about one to two liters of crushed coal is taken. Spread this amount over the surface of the soil and mix it with the top layer to a depth of ten or 15 centimeters.
