Commonly known as: AgriCarb
Technical name: Steam-Activated Agricultural Carbon (GAC or PAC)
AgriCarb is a premium-grade, steam-activated carbon developed specifically for agricultural use. Made from sustainably sourced macadamia nut shells, it has a dense carbon lattice and a unique porous structure that boosts soil health, improves nutrient retention, and encourages microbial growth. Unlike standard biochar, AgriCarb is clean, consistent, and packed with benefits—making it ideal for everything from your indoor plants to your veggie gardens.
