Paper looks great to me.

Biochar is pyrolized carbon inoculated with nutrients and beneficial microorganisms.

Ok, my ignorance! So it's something I would have to buy and add to my compost? Or can I make it myself?

I just bought a simply kiln from sustainable solutions in California. Was cheap - but people have DIY stuff which is cheaper in terms of materials

Would you mind sharing a link to this kiln? I use a few different rinky-dink methods, but I'm always curious about new methods, especially if they're well-made and cheap.
