Home Posts Conservation Burn Workshop at Circle Bar Ranch

The Workshop we held on February 13th at Circle Bar Ranch was a great success. Attendees (including vineyard managers, flower farmers, compost producers, RCD reps and others) spent the morning learning about the science aspects of the conservation burn training, and a few hours in the afternoon learning how to build and manage a pile of vines. Below are a few pictures from the event:

Most of the smoke produced gets consumed by the  top-lit flames.

The pile is burning nicely now with virtually no smoke.

Putting out the fire—that is steam, not smoke!

The result:  a nice pile of biochar that can be used in the very  vineyard where the vines were pulled out.
