[Terrapreta] Guidelines for Using Terra Preta

[Tom Miles]

Much of our discussion in the past few months has been to clarify what terra
preta is and how it functions. There are clearly many misconceptions about
charcoal, the qualities of charcoal, how it is made, how it can be used, and
how it functions in different soils with different plants.  A useful product
of this discussion and the ongoing research and field trials would be draft
guidelines for the use of terra preta. I'm thinking of the kind of general
information published by our extensions services. Eventually these will be
developed by many organizations, including the IAI, but it would be useful
to start drafting something here.
