[Terrapreta] Coal as a soil additive

[Allan K Mitchell]

I'm a newby on this list and I an certainly interested in the use of
charcoal to improve soil fertility.

 

My question is   -   can coal be used in the same way as charcoal - it has
not been heated but must therefore contain more of the original plant
materials. Assuming the physical structure of charcoal is not a critical
requirement then coal must have many of the same chemical characteristics.
If can be supplied in a particle size to suit could it be used in the same
way you use charcoal. ??
