How To Use Genesis Biochar
Evaluating the condition of your soil is our recommend first step. Getting your soil lab tested is the only sure way to identify what your soil needs but observation can often be just as important.If your soil just needs long term conditioning then you can mix Genesis Biochar directly into your soil at a ratio of 5% to 10% to a depth below the root zone.This equates to 20 yards to 40 yards pr acre.
If your soil looks more like the surface of the moon than a black carbon rich soil, your application strategy may need to be more aggressive. Consider amending your soil with a mixture of 20% to 50% Genesis Biochar with compost and/or other amendment(s). If possible, keep the mix wet for a few days and let it stabilize as long as possible before mixing it into the soil. This will allow the amendments time to populate or“charge up” the Genesis Biochar. Mix it into the soil to a depth below the root zone. Water it well each day for a few days.
An even more effective technique is to soak your Genesis Biochar in compost tea or some other nutrient and microbial rich liquid amendments. This technique is referred to as inoculation. Inoculation charges up the Genesis Biochar thus accelerating the availability of the nutrient and microbial rich amendments to the plants. Let the mixture set a minimum of three days so it has time to stabilize. Inoculated Genesis Biochar can be mixed directly into the soil at a 5% to10% ratio or mixed with compost,other organic materials up to a 50% ratio then mixed into the soil.
Remember that the goal is to have 10% Genesis Biochar in your soil mixed it to a depth below the root zone. Make sure to water it well each day for a few days. Conditioning your soil with Genesis Biochar will help create the long term balance of carbon, nitrogen, micro-organisms and nutrients that plants need to thrive.

We create handcrafted art with heritage, heart, and purpose.
At Montana Creations, we produce high-quality, one-of-a-kind goods that reflect the richness of Native American tradition, Western craftsmanship, and personal transformation.
We specialize in:
Hitched horsehair belts, hat bands, bridles, key fobs, and barrettes
Hand-crocheted hats, scarves, sweaters, and blankets
Beaded jewelry and accessories inspired by Native design
Hand-tooled leather wallets, cuffs, and straps
Carved wooden home goods and rustic decor
Each item is crafted one at a time — by hand — using traditional techniques passed down through generations. But what we do goes far beyond artistry.
Most of our pieces are made by Native American artisans from various tribes who are currently incarcerated at the Montana State Prison. For them, this work is more than creative expression — it’s a powerful step in rehabilitation, healing, and cultural reconnection.
By combining cultural tradition with personal restoration, we turn raw materials into meaningful, lasting works of art.
We don’t just make beautiful things. We help people reclaim purpose. We help culture live on. And we offer you something truly unique to give, to wear, or to keep.
