Two bulk bags. One Mid North Coast property. A whole lot of soil about to get better. 🌱

Byron Biochar, landed and ready to be worked in ahead of a native planting 🌏 It’s our Pure Pecan Product from spray free farming.

Biochar before the natives go in =

Big day on a Mid North Coast property 🌱

A couple of bulk bags of Byron Biochar have arrived, ready to be spread and worked into a large area before a native planting goes in.

Getting biochar into the ground first is a great move, it helps the soil hold onto moisture through dry spells, gives soil life somewhere to thrive, and keeps nutrients where the roots can reach them. The plants get a better start, and a good chunk of carbon stays locked in the ground for good.

Planning your own planting or revegetation project? Give us a shout, always happy to help you work out if biochar’s a good fit.

Big news from Byron Biochar 🔥

The KonTiki Native Ironbark — the big one — is off the drawing board, and we're looking for the first producer to take it on! 🙌

This is the commercial-scale kiln in the range: 1,800 litres of working volume, and around 1,530 litres of settled biochar per burn. It's made for producers working at serious scale — contract producers, forestry and mill-residue operators, carbon-project folks, big estates and research stations.

Same deep-cone flame-cap design as the rest of the family 🌿 5 mm Corten steel cone, welded steel frame, winch-assisted tilt so you're not lifting it by hand, and castors + forklift pockets so you can actually shift it around the yard.

We build the first one as soon as it's got a home — so this is your chance to be first in. $13,000 + GST (ex works, shipping quoted separately), 4–6 week lead time once the build kicks off.

Australian-designed by Gordon Hirst at Epsitech, Australian-made, and proudly distributed by us — with a nod, as always, to the Ithaka Institute, whose open-source KonTiki design started it all.

Keen to hear from anyone working at this scale — get in touch 📸

The big one is ready 🔥

The KonTiki Native Ironbark — our commercial-scale, 1,800 L flame-cap kiln — has finished design, and we’re looking for the first producer to take it on.

Built for producers working at scale: ~1,530 L of settled biochar per burn, a 5 mm Corten cone, winch-assisted tilt, and castors + forklift pockets to move it around a working site. First unit gets built once it’s got a buyer — so there’s a real first-in opportunity here.

$13,000 + GST, ex works. Australian-designed by Gordon Hirst at Epsitech, Australian-made, distributed by Byron Biochar. Open-source KonTiki lineage from the Ithaka Institute 🌿

🌱 Nothing beats a still morning and a wheelbarrow of good biochar.

Worked into your beds or topdressed across the lawn, biochar helps soil hold onto moisture and nutrients, supports the microbes that do the real work underground, and locks carbon away in the ground for the long haul.

A little goes a long way — and your soil will thank you for seasons to come.

🛡️ Corten weathering steel — it forms its own protective patina and is made to work hard outdoors for ten years

From woody waste → biochar → compost → healthy soil. That’s the loop, and it starts right on the farm.

If you’ve got a property with woody waste to deal with and you’re curious about making your own biochar, send us a message or visit byronbiochar.com.au — happy to have a yarn about whether one of these would suit your place.

❄️ Winter is when the real soil work happens.
While everything above ground slows down, this is the best window to rebuild what's underneath it — and with EOFY here, it's the perfect time to stock up before spring planting kicks off.
🌱 Powdered biochar locks in nutrients, holds moisture and gives your soil structure to bounce back stronger.

💧 Liquid biochar is the fast track — easy to apply now so it's already working by the time spring growth ramps up.
🎟️ Use code SGA10 at checkout.
