We've got a pine tree leftover from Solstice and are looking for ideas. Any 
advice on biochar or burning it right onto a bed would be appreciated.
 
Thanks.

Thanks."

Smoldering the tree directly on the garden beds would probably create a lot 
of air pollution. I wrote about various methods of making clean bio-char on a 
home scale for my blog at 
http://onescytherevolution.com/1/category/biochar62a6a15fa5/1.html

Check it out, and see if anything appeals to you. But first, cut up the tree 
into firewood sized pieces, and split the larger diameter portions of the 
trunk. Be sure all the wood is completely dry before making bio-char out of 
it.

I've had some people tell me that they don't like to get two emails
when i send something out, so I've been avoiding posting to this
mailing list, thinking that the folks that want my stuff would be
signed up for my daily-ish email.

THIS time, I have a podcast that is supposed to be a review of chapter
5 of gaia's garden, but it ends up packed with heaps of permaculture
stuff in a very short time.
