Re: Help with a basic,old school setup

You've got the basic idea. Yes after grinding the ground charcoal needs to be charged with nitrogen. I use the cheep-est form available to me my urine. .Fresh cut grasses is another source you might use. Fish waste or aquatic weed can be used also. Check out organic web sites to find other nitrogen sources. After abortion has taken place the bio-char can be added to compost and then the soil. It seems to work better that way the compost helps to quickly charge the bio-char with fungi and bacteria. The alternative is to add the bio-char to the soil and add compost at the same time or later. The bio-char will become the home to fungi and bacteria but the soil does not contain the numbers and diversity of wee beasties found in densities in compost
