[Terrapreta] Soil Tilth and Biochar

[Sean K. Barry]

Hi Allan,

Yes, you did write an article for ACRES and it was a good one.  We have to make charcoal or get it from someone who can make it for us the way we want.

Regards,

SKB

  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?
