ACRES USA ran a cover story on Terra Preta last January. (Shit, I wrote it!)

There's LOTS OF INTEREST among eco-ag people but, GUESS WHAT?

There's isn't a lot of char or appropriate charcoal to work with so 
that people can report on char in the soil from experience.

How are we going to solve that limitation?
