Re: Terra Preta Recipes and Results

To all,

My solid clay no SOM soil garden is going well. According to recent posts I probably put in too much charcoal but may move or spread the soil out after this growing season.

At 5 weeks I have a lot of growth from seeds and all transplanted vegetables are doing well. What is most evident is the amount of worms, slugs, and grubs that I find now comparded to 9 weeks ago when I started. Then I had none and now many.

This has to be a result from the charcoal/manure-biochar mix I put in as the soil had been sitting there for two years and no biological activity until my Terra Preta efforts. No sign of microbial fungus yet but maybe this may take time or my eyes are to old to see overt signs of it.
