Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["John D'hondt" <dhondt@eircom.net>]

I am so glad that at last an official scientific institute has come out 
against ""Biochar"". I have been writing about this for ten years at least 
since I first did tests with it. I found seedlings and plants to grow less 
vigorous with charcoal than without. And this is nothing but logical. 
Charcoal is the oldest wood preservative known to man because all soil 
organisms avoid it like the plague.
