[Terrapreta] Update on biochar trials in Hangzhou

[Robert Flanagan]

Hey Guys,

I just got some data from our Longwu biochar trials. There was a bit of a
mix up with the corn cob weights as some cobs had broken off the plants in
transport so we just grouped them all together for each plot and took the
average. The charcoal 1 is control (No foliar nutrient), charcoal 2 is
seaweed extract (7 foliar applications) and charcoal three is modified
vinegar (7 foliar applications). So from a quick glance you can see a clear
difference in the charcoal amended plots. I'm hoping that Dr. Zhong does the
follow up soil tests so that I can pass that data on as well.

I had some corn cobs in the lab from samples we took a few months back so I
decided to go a quick run with them in the stove, hope you enjoy

Next week I plan to head out of China for some time so not sure if the guys
here will get any more biochar trials done this year!

Regards,
Rob.
