Mark,

You are 100% right. Someone stumbled upon something, gave it a fancy name [Terra Petra], drew some incorrect conclusions and made themselves famous.

It is the same thing with SPIN farming, Square Foot gardening and Lasange gardening. It is marketing gimmicks. Maybe I should become famous with Pentagon Farming. That just came to mind. Fool people five ways?

I've been having discussions with a proponent of biochar (Tera Preta) for some time now and am still struggling with the concept of it, of how it can do all the things that is claimed with regards to improving soil conditions.
