In this research was to study the growth of kale and eggplant by using growing media with and without added biochar. The growing media was consisted of soil, compost and biochar in the ratio of 2:2:1 and 2:2:0 by weight, respectively. From the study, it was found that the growth of both kale and eggplant using growing media with added biochar were significantly more complete than that using growing media without added biochar in term of a higher productivity including high fresh weight and
high dry weight corresponding to the chemical property enhancement of growing media in term of low electrical conductivity whereas a cation exchange capacity was high resulting in a better nutrient retention and nutrient releasing efficiency.
