David, The terra preta sanitation (TPS) is interesting. I am watching from afar, but I have a question that could make things more interesting for me. It is about the pH of TPS. One of the “limitation

Paul, to acidify biochar, you can use any acid (probably organic acids are the easiest to manage, but any acid would do and inorganic might be cheaper). Once in the soil, the classical technique of ad

Hi Paul What would you think about simply soaking new biochar in clean water, and draining it, to leach out the soluble alkalis? Also, if you added CO2 to the “leach water” it would assist in removal

David, It also maybe of interest to look at the work done in Findland on the use of urine and wood ash to grow vegetables..... Mike Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Trevor, Yes, washing biochar will lower the PH. I deal with a biochar that is the bi-prooduct of a 100 year old steam boiler. The design of the boiler is that the biochar is quenched in a water bath.

For many biochars, the ash (high pH) is concentrated in the fines. Screen out the fines. Rick

Hi, Surely ACTIVE CHARCOAL is the best. Combined with MAGNETITE added to the soil and POWDERED GRANITE in the COMPOST. Ciao, Dhan DIASPORA COMMUNITY.... My PROFILE PAGE :- IRISH, MUSICIAN, POET, PHYSI

MAGNETITE is very smart; a tiny amount ignites a magnetic charge web, especially around carbon. helps round up & line up all those "free" electrons. a little bit of clay is always a great boost to mak

David FYI.....One can consider using hay silage additive and molasses to reduce pH rather than using an EM additive and molasses. BTW.... are you referring to lactobacillus, as an electrogenic bacteri
