[Terrapreta] temperate backyard experiment

[Larry Williams]

Yes, go to the pictures where Richard Haard and I have been making  
charcoal (5 sets) and where Richard has been farming with charcoal to  
see what he and I have been up to. He has been using charcoal for  
five or six years on the Fourth Corner Nursery site which is located  
in Whatcom County, Washington State, USA. The nursery is 10 miles  
from Bellingham and both are around 30 miles to the Canadian border.  
I would appreciate knowing more about your situation. If you have any  
questions please let me know, I may have an answer.

Richard and I believe that the information that we are learning is to  
be given freely.

Personally, a confluence of negative trends in environmental,  
economic and political conditions, lead me to believe that what we  
all learn about the usefulness of Terra Preta should be disseminated  
as quickly as possible. Depending on the "fickle finger of fate", an  
open sourcing of ideas and findings is imperative. Climate change has  
just made us one world... one species among many.

Thanks for asking for assistance-------Larry
