[Terrapreta] Composting with Char

[Shengar at aol.com]

Hi All,
 
My guess is a "mellowing" time with finished compost and local soil  would be 
more beneficial than actively composting with char as an  ingredient. 
 
This mellowing time also provides a better opportunity to experiment  with 
fungi inoculents , say for specific crops,  NPK analysis and  experiment with 
time release or soluble fertilizer ,  re-mineralization, or other adjustments to 
local conditions.
 
It just seems to me that composting temperatures would not be as  conducesive 
 to establishing / seeding the wee-beastee  ecologies we are trying for in 
our local derivations of TP  soils.
 
Cheers, 
Erich
