Charlie Charcoal™ is a high quality horticultural charcoal/biochar that is of great benefit in sandy soils. As a permanent source of carbon, charcoal acts as a sponge to hold onto water and nutrients (having a high cation exchange capacity or CEC) and has a very large surface area - making it an ideal home for millions of beneficial soil microbes.
Charlie Charcoal™ is quite unique among biochars as it has a very low pH, so will be hugely beneficial to people in coastal regions that struggle in limestone/sandy soil; and it also means that Charlie Charcoal™ is a great addition to pots and planters where you are wanting to grow acid loving plants (eg. azaleas, camellias, blueberries, gardenias).
Due to the shipping cost, this product can only be ordered online as a Click & Collect order for pickup in our Perth retail store in Victoria Park.

Charlie Charcoal™ is non-toxic and safe to use for all plants. It is Certified Organic. The use of a dust mask is recommended when this product is dry as fine dust particles may become airborne.
Charlie Charcoal™ should not be applied where a source of ignition could ignite a high concentration of airborne particles.
We can also supply beneficial microbes to inoculate Charlie Charcoal™ before using it in your soil. Super charge it by adding liquid nutrients like kelp or fish hydrolysate - mix the nutrient liquid with a bucket of water, tip 5 litres of the liquid into a bucket of Charlie Charcoal™ and leave for a few hours before applying. (Think of charcoal as a sponge with billions of tiny holes to fill, so nutrient charging your Charlie Charcoal™ will give you great results in your garden much sooner.)

I initially bought this product from a company on East coast but happy to find it in a store in Perth. My husband has his own business and it always feels good to support other small businesses.
Ordered 2 of these sprinklers. They are awesome for doing around edges. They put out a great spray. Very happy and would highly recommend them.
By far the best coffee cup I've had..

Chemical free way to clean up weeds in your paving.
I purchased and set up my fly trap in Sept/Spring for my lime tree. Within a few hours of setting it up, fruit flies started lingering around it. When I checked on it the next day (<24h) there were already a few trapped in the liquid. Very effective product - looks like it will be handy in managing fruit flies in my garden this year.
no problems with anything
