Has anyone been conducting experiments that they believe has produced some results?
It would be fun to know WHAT has been tried and WHAT the correlating results may have been.
Even, dead end, reports would be of help to those of us trying to create tp our first year.

Results have shown to me that TP needs a decent addition of composted organic matter to do itself justice. Once the char is 'full' of biology the char stops taking from the soil and begins enhancing it.

Compost teas and composting are both symbiotic procedures to run alongside soil restoration attempts and 'fill' the TP up...

TP, once matured a bit, is superior soil by a country mile, it increases earthworm activity 4 fold in my lawn, it makes veg and herbs grow faster.

I've been too busy lately to be here. I'm sticking to my guns on this one. The more organic, the older, the better the TP.

Go organic, trying to turn TP into a soil fertiliser enhancement is wrong. It is a soil biology enhancement. Go organic.

Thanks for the response. I am noticing myself that the char is taking from the soil at this early stage of study. How long does it take to mature a bit? One season?

I believe you in the organic bio side of TP. The biology in the TP is what the researchers are looking at from what I have understood from various publications that talk about funded research.

I personally am 'filling' most of my char with all sorts of organic materials.
Has there been any success by anyone soaking in urea or whatever and using it as a fertilizer?

Would the natural soil biology enhance the urea char, while at the same time, the urea char is enhancing the soil??
[My guess is that the urea char would still take from the soil at first.]
