Hello Sean

"I'm quite sure I never said putting charcoal into soil "instantaneously" makes it into Terra Preta soil. If you think so, then show me the post where I said that.":
Soil-wise, "overnight" = "instantaneous" =unbalanced approach.

Hi Max,

I suspect making Amazon style TP soils would take quite a long time. Its just a thought though. Maybe the effect could be made to happen overnight or in a single growing season with one application of the "right stuff", too. Who knows?
