[Terrapreta] eprida char - organic?

[Tom Miles]

Allan,

I can understand and appreciate your perspective. Biochar as a basic
material makes sense. I can also appreciate that it makes it simpler for the
grower to think about even though it may be more difficult to apply than a
mixture with compost. Using char in a premix is like formulating feeds.   

Realistically I think we see and will see a range of products from charcoal
to fertilizer, (E.g. ECOSS by EPRIDA) all referred to as biochar.

Promoting biochar seems to make it difficult to convey that it is the
combination of char with other components that makes the terra preta system
work. So for the general public you will probably see blended products. 

I'll have to dig for the OMRI approved product. To complicate things it is
not listed by OMRI list as a charcoal product.

There's nothing wrong with basic. There is a lot of basic work that needs to
be done.
