What is a good amount of rain in one day(or hour) for swales to have a good effect
Since I’m planning swales or other catchments techniques I’d like to understand what’s a proper amount of rain for them to make sense and have an effect accumulating water in a pond or in the swale itself

Would it work to use Biochar to heat a cooking stone?
I am thinking of making a normal flat cooking stone, but with a carved pocket on the bottom of the stone where you can put a scoop of Biochar to light and heat the stone. There would also be a few channels/vents that lead from the pocket to the edge of the stone. So you light a scoop of Biochar on the ground/surface, then place the stone overtop basically trapping the embers (fed with air by the vents) and the stone heats to cook your food. The ground surface would probably be a slate with a little divit for the Biochar. Would this make sense or am I missing anything? Could a small scoop of crushed Biochar actually heat a stone enough? Would it even be practically useful?

Will applying this fertilizer impact the long term health of my soil?
I found this fertilizer in the garage from the previous owner- I don’t like to let things go to waste and it appears to be harmless enough.
However, I have heard that applying fertilizers can kill or hurt the microorganisms in the soil. I applied this on a test patch in my garden and got fantastic results, but I don’t want to apply everywhere without knowing long term effects. I think since it is organic and not from synthetic sources, it should be fine?
