[Terrapreta] work involving terra preta and EM fertilizer in the Ecuadorian Amazon

[Allan Balliett]

John -

Can I ask what your mean by "EM fertilizer"?

Are you making a high fertility ferment  with EM and applying that to the soil?

If so, what is the recipe?

If you are not making a fertilizer with EM and other inputs, then I 
ask you to note that EM fulfills the microbial inoculation stage of 
terra preta development but does not fulfill the fertilization stage 
of EM development (traditionally filled by high nutrient solutions of 
fish waste and various manures (apparently)

EM, in and of itself, is not a fertilizer and is not marketed as 
afertilizer but is often assumed by users to be a fertilizer.

That's why I mention this.

Please tell me more about what you are doing.

Thanks
