Just google 'Amazon black soil' and you'll find loads of good info

That "Google" thing is pretty well known, Robyn.

It's a human filter like this one:

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.

That's hard to find.

I was hoping for some first hand human recommendations.

Know what I mean?

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
