[Terrapreta] A few photos of the rice hull charcoal trial

Hi,

I've just got back from collecting some soil from the field and though
I'd pass on a few photos. At this stage no chemical fertilizers have
been used and at 35days the charcoal plots are way ahead with no pest
problems unlike the unamended plots. The lower plots are harder to
photograph as the corn is so dense but on site you can still see the
biochar plots are way ahead.

I was really only doing this for shock value to try and get more
support for larger trials. I also wanted to show the local farmers
first hand how easy it is to use biochar from agri-residue, so as they
say in the good old US of A "Mission Accomplished" but the troops (Or
troop) won't be leaving her either.

Rob.
