[Terrapreta] Coal as a soil additive

[Michael Bailes]

It probably depends on the coal.
We need to find some use for the stuff for after it is banned in energy
production (?!)

*Victorian brown coal* would be good I think.  It holds a lot of water and
containing humates etc
I guess the declension is

   - trees & plants
   - organic matter
   - peat,
   - Victorian brown coal,
   - coal
   - diamonds


See this tread I started at hypography to discuss this issue
