Hi Mike, that is a very good idea, - Although I live in the Wet Tropics in Australia, it is at an altitude of 700 metres so quite severe frosts occur and as with Climate Change we suffer stronger extr

Tom, Not sure on the R-value but you can improve it by adding an additional layer of bubble wrap by interconnecting bubble to bubble. Mike

Ok I missed something, what is this about boichar helping with window fogging?

Great idea. Our winters are not severe but we have old single pane windows that we can try it on. Is there an R value for the insulation? As Frank showed us you can set biochar beneath the window to p

Good Day, Attached is a picture of an energy saving idea for those who live in the land of cold winters... At first glance the windows may appear frosted but actually they are covered with small bubbl

Hi Tom I think they do this for all sorts of trees. Great in vineyards. Hopefully USForest might set up a large plot to look at the benefits of doing this. The problem is we should have done this 20 y

Agreed. Air Burners can help you there. However, you are in the state of Washington and the Department of Ecology will not permit air curtain burners without extensive testing and negotiation. As far

Hi Tom It would be very interesting to see what the reduction in cost of fire fighting is by having a layer of refractory biochar on the soil that builds up soil moisture and whether this biochar also
