Persist Biochar is an all-natural substance created from California-grown waste pistachio shells, and supports and improves:

• Soil health: Persist Biochar has a very high surface area and porosity, which retains nutrients and makes them available to grass and plants for a longer time.
• Water savings: It helps retain water and nutrients longer, keeping soil hydrated up to six times longer.
• Plant growth: Persist Biochar helps prevent the leaching of minerals and nutrients from the soil and improves the effectiveness of added plant food by holding nutrients in the root zone longer, helping to accelerating plant growth for all types of soils.
