Re: Terra Preta

Welcome Brother Meikeru:

Eprida's Ecoss fertilizer would seem to address this problem.

It sounds like the way you can sour a soil or stunt a compost pile thru N depletion, but that is the result of to much undigested cellulose, I thought that char was just the "bones" of that cellulose, all cooked out, ?

Also I want to asK Dr Hodges about the use of modern soil amendments like: Time release fertilizers, local mass produced Compost, and Fungi Innoculants.

What I want is a recipe to spread and till.
Our fields were put to the plow relentlessly until 25 years ago. A little tilling now , for the prospect of these benefits, to get TP into the first 8 inches seems worth disruption of the soil horizons.
I think of it as urban renewal , but with really good public housing.



A Reply from KingsFord , made my day, :

"Dear Mr. Knight,

Thank you for contacting us about Kingsford BBQ Bag Single Use Charcoal Briquets. We always appreciate hearing from our consumers.

We have received your email regarding the use of Terra Preta soil technology. We are glad that you think high enough of our company to want to assist us in finding alternate methods of producing charcoal. I have forwarded all of the information that you sent on to the appropriate department.

Again, thank you for contacting us.

Sincerely,

Lee Summers
