Coconut Carbon pellets Good for Organic Soil?

    I might as well start here.

    I am looking for information on the composition of Coconut carbon pellets in relationship to the quality of adding to a biologically alive soil.

    Would these pellets contain any chemicals that are harmful to a Organic soil?

    Oh hey the post isn't clear...


    The carbon in the can carbon filters.. It's like a pellet.


    The kind of machine that malkes it is called a mill. Many things are milled like chicken feed and rabbit food..


    The carbon is made from the burnt coconut hulls and is pressed ( milled ) into pellets.


    I wanted to show a picture but I cannot find one.


    So in simple terms is the used carbon from the carbon filter safe to add into a living organic soil?

    Ab update:


    I have decided to compost with the carbon pellets this next compost cycle.


    I assume the carbon has bonded with organic compounds from the air.


    I assume also that these compounds are not toxic.

    You might want to monitor the pH of the affected soil.


    Other than that I'm curious to know how it works for you.


    Are these carbon pellets considered organic?

    The best info I have is that it's burnt coconut.
    So I assume that it is organic..

    The Question has been, as of late , what has the carbon soaked up?

    Well it'f just grow room air so it may have some nasty compounds but nothing too toxic imo..

    Composting has a way of neutrallizing PH.
    I assume that it also consumes extra nutes.. But that I don't know..
    Just let them lil bugs have at a ton of food and watch the soil temp rise to 100 F..

    But sure .. After I do the 12/12 grow experiment I will compost the soil again.
    I can do a report.

    BTW I have added PH and PPM meters to the "things to buy list" I need to learn how to use the stuff right.. You guys say it makes fopr a better result.. I believe yall.

    An update:

    Added a huge bag of Coffee grounds, from StarBucks, to a bag of Carbon pellets.
    Carbon pellets do not disolve fast. They also do not change the PH. After adding lime to the soup of coffee grounds and pellets the PH has stayed about 7.0

    I decided to test this on a plant outside. I have 5 gal of thick slop at the moment.
    I will put it out and watch it over the spring / summer

    I have a feeling this will work out but it will be tested on something other than the garden first.
