[Terrapreta] no instantaneousness = no overnight

[Michael Bailes]

I worry a little when we just talk about Char as it is the total TP story.
Certainly it is the part of TP that western agriculture that has ignored, up
to now.
However worms have to eat something and that means SOM, unless someone
discovers they eat glomalin or some similar substance produced by the
catalyst effect of char.

With dry soils with 3% organic matter ,Australian soils are not going to
feed too many worms.
