Description
Midwest Bioblend is a bio-based container media designed to embody the best traits of a living soil with the benefits of a balanced soil food web. We built this soil-mix to suit the average everyday gardeners, who have requested efficiency and ease-of-use combined with quality. Midwest Bioblend is alive and packed with organic pulverized topsoil, vegetation-based compost and of course biochar, creating a rich environment of beneficial bacteria. This rich ecosystem is nested in a matrix of components that optimizes porosity and drainage, so the soil gets the water it needs while maintaining aeration. The result is good for the soil microbes and extremely beneficial for the plants. No animal or human manures are used in our products! Biochar provides several benefits to the soil food web, while increasing water-holding capacity, decreasing bulk density, buffering pH, moderating nutrient release and much more, all of which will last for decades. High-quality compost adds a microbial environment rich with humic acids, which are the chemical compounds making up humus and related compounds humates – the defining material of compost.

One Cubic Foot of Biochar would be sufficient for approximately 1-2 trees
One Cubic Yard of Biochar would be sufficient for approximately 20-30 trees
Planting New Trees
Dig a larger hole than required for tree; mix ½ to 1 whole cubic foot of Biochar in with backfill at a rate of one part Biochar to 2 parts soil. Put half of the backfill at the bottom of the hole, place the tree in hole, and use remaining backfill to wrap around the root ball of the tree. The roots will integrate with the Biochar as the tree grows.
Existing Trees
Top dress under the canopy in the drip zone of the tree and incorporate 1 cubic foot of Biochar into top 1-4 inches of soil. For deeper rooted trees, apply with an auger or air spade device to get product closer to root zone.
Row Crops
Apply with compost or manure spreader along the top of beds and incorporate into top 1-4 inches of soil.
One Cubic Foot of Biochar would be sufficient for approximately 150 linear feet
One Cubic Yard of Biochar would be sufficient for approximately 1/4 acre
New Vineyards
Apply with compost or manure spreader along the rows during pre-plant and incorporate into top 3-7 inches of bed. Alternatively apply into backfill of individual vine holes mixing one part Biochar to 4 parts soil.
Existing Vineyards
Side dress rows with compost spreader and disk into soil or incorporate into 3-6 inches of the side of the bed.
For Both New and Existing Vineyards
One Cubic Foot of Biochar would be sufficient for approximately 4-6 Individual vines
