Charlie Charcoal™ is a high quality horticultural charcoal/biochar that is of great benefit in sandy soils. As a permanent source of carbon, charcoal acts as a sponge to hold onto water and nutrients (having a high cation exchange capacity or CEC) and has a very large surface area - making it an ideal home for millions of beneficial soil microbes.
Charlie Charcoal™ is quite unique among biochars as it has a very low pH, so will be hugely beneficial to people in coastal regions that struggle in limestone/sandy soil; and it also means that Charlie Charcoal™ is a great addition to pots and planters where you are wanting to grow acid loving plants (eg. azaleas, camellias, blueberries, gardenias).
Due to the shipping cost, this product can only be ordered online as a Click & Collect order for pickup in our Perth retail store in Victoria Park.

Charlie Charcoal™ is non-toxic and safe to use for all plants. It is Certified Organic. The use of a dust mask is recommended when this product is dry as fine dust particles may become airborne.
Charlie Charcoal™ should not be applied where a source of ignition could ignite a high concentration of airborne particles.
We can also supply beneficial microbes to inoculate Charlie Charcoal™ before using it in your soil. Super charge it by adding liquid nutrients like kelp or fish hydrolysate - mix the nutrient liquid with a bucket of water, tip 5 litres of the liquid into a bucket of Charlie Charcoal™ and leave for a few hours before applying. (Think of charcoal as a sponge with billions of tiny holes to fill, so nutrient charging your Charlie Charcoal™ will give you great results in your garden much sooner.)

My naturopath recommended Brocolli sprouts and I love them so much. I also brought one of Urban Revolution sprouting jar and that is marvellous. Highly recommend both.
10 out of 10 for sustainability and respect for the planet, but don’t forget the really friendly and welcoming ‘service with a smile’. Makes a heck of a difference 👍🥇
For the price it is a very good product,
This sprinkler is a fantastic product. Well made and extremely strong. Perfect for small corner gardens. Excellent Spray Pattern
Got sick of plastic pegs breaking in my hands every couple of months so gave stainless steel pegs a go and I love them, no rust, hold the clothes perfectly and the bigger pegs are great for large items . Won’t be buying any others from here on they withstand thunderstorms winds – hail
These are a fabulous addition to the garden- I have put near one of my ponds and they add height whilst supporting new plants. They are sculptural and outer leaves move gently in the wind. I love them
Seeing green shoots a few days after planting. Very happy so far.
Hydrofish is a great product, as it gives excellent results within a short space of time for a modest outlay. I highly recommend it. The whole garden really thrives on it, and the colours of the flowers are vibrant.
Perfect garden tool with many uses, the wifey was very happy with the knife 👍
Happy with an option for a gift card as a present. Received the voucher immediately via email. So all good
It’s by far the best way to dispose of what our furry friend doesn’t need anymore.. clean- efficient- easy to install and use.. actually looks great in the garden as no-one knows what it is until I tell them . No plastic bags in the bin after our walks and nothing left around the yard as it’s collected daily. Brilliance at its best
Beautiful item that is really practical - it does what it says! I placed this in an enormous pot that struggles on hot days - this has made a notable difference
S. so sensible...water directed exactly where needed...spreads out in forward fan shape and water for narrow beds and no water wasted.
