[Terrapreta] urine & terra preta

[Edward Someus]

This is an far more complex problem than to simplify the issue,  as modern
age humans urine, containing residuals of medicine and other substances,
which was not the case 2500 yr ago. 
 
There might be similar contamination problem as for sewage water treatment,
where endocrine disruptors, female hormons and medical residuals breaking
through the water treatment system, enter subsurface water base and
re-appear in water wells.

Subject: [Terrapreta] urine & terra preta
 
in trying to understand how the indigenous amazon tribes made terra preta,
how about careful consideration of the value of urine as a fertilizer:

in addition to its immediate fertility value, i suspect urine has special
value as a microbial stimulant
