[Terrapreta] Spring Planting - Biochar

[Kevin Chisholm]

Dear Tom

You bring up a very interesting topic. Given that there will be many of 
us that will be doing our own testing, perhaps there is a way we can 
structure the tests so that we can learn the most from them.

I recall there was someone on the TP List interested in collecting data 
about Terra Preta Tests, but regrettably, I forget her name. How should 
we structure our individual tests so that the results we get can be 
entered into her system in a meaningful and comparable manner?

While we will all be growing different things, for different purposes, 
and under different circumstances, perhaps if we all additionally grew a 
small "calibration plot", then this would be helpful in comparing the 
general results from one site with the results from teh others?

Would you, or anyone else, have suggestions on how we could proceed to 
maximize teh benefit from our individual tests?

Best wishes,

Kevin
