Nikolaus,

Great solution. The only headache is that charcoal is very hard on pumps and
pump seals. We experience this when using activated charcoal for carbon
banding while seeding grass seed.

>In industrial sized agriculture you would use a 10 m3 tank hauled in the
back of the seeding machine, pumping a slurry of fine milled charcoal,
mycorrhizae infected soil and diluted melassa together with your favorite
mix of fungi and bacteria and apply it as a side dressing or a broad band-
below seed-dressing.
