[Terrapreta] John,s experiment.

[John G. Flottvik]

Sean.

I hoped that I had explained clearly before, but I have 6 different seeds ( vegtables) in 10 variations of soils.
Tomorrow I am going to collect some new soils from farms, gardens and fields, find some more pots
to do a few more samples. I'm not to happy with bought soils as I dont think it will give the real answer we 
are looking for. That said, what I have now is worth keeping track of, so I will just add to the variation.

Regards
John

  Tom, thanks for posting the pictures.

  John, it sure is exciting to see pictures with some results from some real experiments with charcoal in soil!  I don't remember, but hopefully, you have duplicates or triplicates of the varied test samples.  If you don't, consider making some up.  Make duplicates or triplicates of all the pots, with all the same variances, plant the same kinds of seeds.  The replication will help with validating a real effective combination and maybe keep us from having some fluke "super-grower" radish seed "sport" in one of the pots, making us think its an obvious winning recipe.
  Do you know what I mean?

  Happy Gardening,

  SKB

    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
