Dear John

The initial batches of char is from coconut fronds burned in a TLUD stove.
It is coming out in batches of about a cup or so.  Later I will be doing
husk, frond stems and shell as well.  Thank you for offering to supply but
one of
the whole reasons for this exercise is to promote self-sufficiency and
sustainability.
It would be great if charcoal is found to have the same beneficial affects
on atolls as it appears to have on latisol type ones.

Sincerely yours,
