[Terrapreta] sugar usage

[rukurt at westnet.com.au]

AD Karve talks about 25kg per hectare twice a year. That works out to 
2.5g per square meter each time. You can do the maths for your garden 
yourself.

The amounts involved are tiny, I find it extremely doubtful that any 
harm could come of it. A pinch in a pot would probably pretty much do it.

Too much and you could get problems from yeast and sugar loving insects.
