The charcoal has to be charged with moisture, nutrients and good bacteria (like composted manure) to be effective (and to truly be BIOchar). Otherwise, the charcoal will absorb moisture and nutrients for a year or two until it begins making the soil more productive. MANY videos on this subject on YouTube.

Doing my own bit of YouTube video research, it appears that leavings fields fallow is also important in making it work.
