2.02 How do I make biochar? While colliers the world over normally use
either a covered pit <http://www.fao.org/docrep/x5328e/x5328e06.htm>
or a covered
mound (earth kiln) <http://www.fao.org/docrep/x5328e/x5328e07.htm> to make
charcoal, most gardeners will want to start with an easier method that works
at a smaller scale.

In Britain charcoal is widely available in nurseries  and is still made by
"coppicing" as has been done in British forests for more than 2,000 years.
This is an ecologically sustainable use of forests and may contribute to the
health and longevity of some British  forests.
