I am planning on biochar! It solves a lot of problems, and gives long term gains. I plan to use aquaponics in a wallipini greenhouse (partly buried); to give me year round production. I think I've figured out how to use biochar in the aquaponics system, which is not supposed to work! I hate to remove these trees, as they are oak and black walnut; but I've no choice as I've got to have sun!
I will plant some fruit trees, on the edges.

There's always something that can happen.
Yes biochar is awesome.
True biochar is along the addition to the garden quality! They say that aquaponics can Not be combined with bio char. But I have figured out how to do it anyway. Life stays interesting!
I'm adding a satellite machine shop at the homestead, for dealing with 'surprises' that happen....
💗🤠😃👍🥳🤕🥴
I absolutely don't see why not...
And of course I have seen a couple of systems using charcoal filters to help manage the solid waste...
Hum very interesting question. Personally I thought that it would help manage my pH levels.
The biochar is a secret weapon! Biochar Robs too many nutrients for many aquaponics systems. Most systems never reach nitrification levels, so the system never starts.
Charcoal filters are good for the fish, and bad for the plants; so they must be used carefully. The solids are exactly what the plants need. I have heard that biochar affects the Ph Numbers, but I haven't researched it yet.

Yeah it would buffer the pH levels and you have to use the right amounts.
You are looking for the bigger chunks with this system allowing the smaller nutrients to pass through. However it helps so that you don't have so radical of swings.
Email me, not ready to put this online right now. If not right, it could cause terrible harm, if done badly!
💗🤠💙🤕👍🥴
I can wait until you publish your findings... LoL.
