[Terrapreta] Soil test and CEC

[Michael Bailes]

Victorian brown coal is one step up from peat and can be used as a soil
amendment.
It would be good to have another reason to use coal rather than burning it.

Contributions are welcome!

Adriana from BEST has sent me some PDF files on CEC and charcoal
Which I have sent to Tom to make available in the TP "library"

She also told me there is a bioenergy conference at Mudgee NSW very soon.
If you would like me to send you details drop me an email.

I note New Zealand has stopped building further coal fired power stations.
They may be a little more aware of Global Warming as they are already
getting a trickle of refugees from flooded pacific islands
