01 / GARDENS
The Great British Wildlife Experiment™
Two matched plants. One treated, one untreated. Observe flowering, plant performance and wildlife activity over time.
See the experiment → A national participatory research programme
Change the biology beneath our feet. Measure what happens above it.
BioCharge Britain brings gardens, growers, nurseries and researchers together to investigate whether living soil biology can improve plant performance and support the wildlife that depends on healthy plants.
The programme
Don't just watch nature. Help us test how to bring it back.
The programme links simple public experiments with structured horticultural trials and independent scientific investigation. The aim is evidence, not predetermined answers.
02 / NURSERIES
Peat-free nursery trials
A structured 120-plant format: 60 control plants and 60 treated plants, while keeping the nursery's existing peat-free growing system.
See the trial format →03 / SCIENCE
Independent investigation
Build a defensible evidence chain through controlled research, transparent results and deeper biochemical and biological analysis.
See the research framework →One simple idea
Keep the medium. Test the treatment. Measure the difference.
BioCharge Britain is designed around comparisons. We do not need to replace a grower's established system to ask whether adding a biological treatment changes measurable outcomes.
Open outcomes. Protected know-how.
We publish the research question, experimental design and results. The proprietary manufacturing process remains confidential.

The bigger ambition
One garden can feed a bee. One million can change the landscape.
The Million Garden Project is the long-term ambition: build participation from the first 1,000 gardens into a national network generating useful, comparable evidence while improving public understanding of living soil.
