What is in a name? Pacification of the natives really means genocide, but genocide sounds so crude. Bio-char is one of these words. Bio means life, comes from the old Greek. But charcoal is deader than a dodo. It is sterile and then some, the oldest and maybe best wood preservative known to mankind. It is bad for the planet to produce it and I have never seen it do any good in soil.

Also adding sulfur where it is not needed can do a lot of harm. Is your soil too alkaline? Or lacking sulfur?

I just put a video at http://www.organotill.org/calendar (Scroll down
to November) on our gardening calendar. It shows adding sulfur,
alfalfa, biochar and leaves as we prepare beds for winter.
