Re: "Wee Beasties" and other "Critters" in TP
I think PAUL E. STAMETS has a useful-mushroom spore selling business.
i just read his catalogue and drooled.
Not a legal import into Oz.
It has belatedly dawned on me that the water holding propertied of char are due to the build up in the soil of microrganisms; not the char itself. IOW it is a catalyst for enabling soil microbiology and therefore water retention in the soil.
I guess Australia's problem is that we need some water first, otherwise nothing lives.
While one can't sell charcoal as a replacement for the dangerous, useless and toxic "water holding crystals" charcoal will eventually do a better job over time (12 months? + organic matter, compost tea, or sugar?)
