Learn how to grow and make your own free charcoal with a Cookswell drum kiln using ONLY branches and twigs instead of cutting down a whole tree.
The course includes 5 free acacia tree seedlings, 1 packet of 100 acacia tree seeds and hands on demonstration of harvesting, processing and carbonizing your feedstock to make lumpwood charcoal as seen below.
We also will demonstrate and explain the
Woodlands 2000 Trust's experiences with dry-land agroforestry and best practises for woodfuel security.
