[Terrapreta] John,s experiment.

[John G. Flottvik]

Tom.

It is called Premier LiteWay Top Soil.

Unfortunately I did not read the back untill I got home but it contains peat moss, limestone and black dirt. What I wanted was ordinary soil with no additives. Good suggestion from Kevin was to find out what kind of soil potential customers has and use that for the tests. However, this test is started so what I have is what the list will get photos of. 
Next time I will use Kevins idea of using different soils from different area around the Fraser Valley.

Thanks for posting the pixs

Regards

  Dear List & Kevin.

   

  Kevin, your radishes win, they came up first.

   

   Came home from a two day trip and the radishes are all showing. Pot # 4 which has 75 % liteway and 25 % JF BioCarbon

   is the best but please view new photos that I will ask Tom to post on terra preta.

  Pot #5 with straight garden soil has the poorest showing. Also see pot with 10 % charcoal.

   

  Thanks to Kevin for suggesting radishes.

   

  Regards

   

  John Flottvik
