[Terrapreta] Passionate about Neo Terra Preta and charcoal agriculture

[Sean K. Barry]

Hello All,

Oh, just in case you didn't notice ... I'm passionate about Neo Terra Preta.  Read my previous post, if you have doubts.

  Michael (et al) - Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but all the 
  info we have on this 'we can't make terra preta' thing is an 
  unsubstantiated quote in a Scientific American article, isn't it? 
  Gosh, after biological farming for a couple of decades I'm STILL 
  continuously surprised by how many unaccounted far factors can affect 
  the productivity of a planting or of a piece of ground. I'd sure like 
  to see 'more sciene' on this 'conclusion.' Without seeing some 
  replication and, really, without the involvement of some biological 
  farmers - - you know, the ones who were telling science that compost 
  is a good way to grow plants for about 70 years before science 
  started supporting the idea of a 'soil food web - - in that 
  replication, I have a hard time thinking that terra preta nova has 
  been debunked.

  Or, have I missed something here?

  Thanks

  -Allan
