To Many

A Fiery Movie: I just uploaded another video to youtube. It shows
firing my biochar chamber in my wood stove turning wood chips into
charcoal. If added to the soil the carbon in wood chips will be back
in the atmosphere in 10 to 20 years. However the charcoal that i'm
making will last for several thousand years in the soil and will help
plants get nutrients too. Before i add the biochar to the soil i need
to soak it in a fertilizer or compost tea solution so it won't grab
minerals from the soil. Once charged with minerals the char will give
nutrients instead of take them.
