The problem with this, and other discussions of carbon in the soil are 
talking about soil organic matter and not pure carbon, as in charcoal. 
When we talk about Terrapreta we are talking about adding charcoal, ie 
solid largely pure carbon to the soil and NOT organic material. Farmers, 
and others are going to get confused about this.
