What happens here

The strategy involves allowing the tiny sticks and twigs within the windrows to decompose and compost over approximately three years. This natural process generates nutrient-rich topsoil. Simultaneously, larger woody debris is separated and burned in a controlled manner to produce biochar. This biochar is then spread back onto the land to further enhance soil quality and fertility, preparing it for future agricultural use.

Goal: Smaller debris within windrows is left to compost, creating new topsoil, while larger woody material is burned to produce biochar, enriching the soil.

What they say

Hide

and we'll have plenty of shade trees this is a windrow a windrow of debris what we're doing with our debris is we're gonna leave it here for three years what that's gonna do is allow all the tiny sticks and twigs to compost and rot and make more topsoil then we'll come back in with the excavator we'll pick through all this stuff we'll take out the woody debris we'll burn the woody debris and make biochar and spread that out on the land and we'll bury and or smooth over all of the dirt and the new topsoil that we've created here by building these windrows and this thing is huge you'll see by the drone footage it is absolutely huge so this is probably a quarter mile long uh 12 foot high 15 foot wide pile of brush and stumps and debris so that's what that is and that will make awesome awesome compost over the next few years uh basically from this point you're
