Dear All!

Paul.S. Anders PhD, wrote in the stove list about adding clay dust as a
binder in biomass pellets. This would be a great idea to form artificial
terra preta. 

Adding some mentionable quantity to the sawdust or milled biomass and then
heat it in a carbonizer together with wood to guarantee the needed heat and
after getting the clay- carbon mix, introduce it in a banded way below the
seeds in the normal mechanical seeding operation.

To know more how to add and which quantities read the stove list article
from Paul.

Best regards Nikolaus
