I think he is saying that charcoal breaks down into fine particles over time and that is the thinking now.
That seems to be what I am observing, as I am not attempting to go to great lengths to pulvarize my charcoal.
Not having found a good means of pulvarizing the lump charcoal I buy from Lowes, (bought two more bags today) I have just gone to spading it in the ground. Maybe one day I will rent a tiller, but I have my doubts as to how well a tiller would even work. I have had to take a pair of pliers to the lumps in order to get them into small fragments. I don't see how a tiller would do anything more than throw them around.
I feel confident that this lump charocoal I buy is very good quality, after having made my own. Charcoal is harder to break up than one might think.
