Note that terra preta is getting lots of good press at the moment,
and although that's charcoal rather than wood stove ash per se,
I still think it's something well worth fooling around with further.

Jedd - Can you point me to some 'good press' for terra preta? Yes, I think that ash doesn't count for the 'terra preta' effect because it has been subjected to too high of heat and has lost structure and (some tell me) 'sugars.' Thanks! -Allan
