Bio-Char - an introduction how-to

[Catherine, The Herb Lady]

Hi Folks,

 

I posted on this group site a while back about soil reclamation using ancient techniques - one of them was "terra preta" aka bio-char which is being researched a lot now for creating an almost miracle-like living matter in the soil.  Deane's son and his lovely companion are traveling around the US highlighting all things green and found and interviewed a gentleman who creates bio-char and explains why it is so useful.

Hope this gives you some helpful ideas.  This is just one way of creating bio-char.  Do some of your own research and see what you come up with :-)
