It was a misty morning down by the Illinois River in Cave Junction |
We load the kilns heaping full with loose packed grapevines and light the top |
Once the initial charge burns down to a heap of glowing coals, we add more, in layers |
We lit these at 9:30 in the morning. By 1:00 pm we have added the last layer |
At 2 pm the last layer has burned down and we are ready to quench |
Meadow hoses down the char |
Total harvest is more than 2 cubic yards of biochar |
