The capacity is 2.6L. This is sufficient for a large human or animal. The quantity of the ash does not affect the ability of the plant to grow. It is also common for the ash of one person to go to multiple urns for planting by more than one family member. If you are sharing the ashes between family members, you may want to top the urn up with some of the soil being used with the Bios urn.

The level of moisture that the Bios Urn is exposed to will vary the breakdown time. The developers’ studies resulted in break down times of 6-10 weeks.

The top of the urn should be approx. 2-3cm below the ground surface for best results.

By the time that the roots of the plant are close to the ash, the urn has degraded and the ash has combined with the subsoil. Having said that, with all plants the roots will strike out in the direction where they can be best nourished.

The Bios Urn has an abundant shelf life if it is not exposed to moisture. Store in a dry place.
