Great debate, greatv subject I was waiting for Christopher & Toby's  input
 before I offered my 20 c worth. Here is a valuable site
www.biochar-journal.org a good bit of science in there. I have been working
with New Zealand's leading soil scientist for over 9 months www.ef.net.nz
where biochar is made on site and several products from this are part of
several different soil fertiliser mixes. One of the unheralded realities is
the carbon factor. Carbon is a huge conveyor in soil biiochemistry. The
whole soil ecology is incredibly dynamic and I do look fwd to the continual
communication that Toby has recently jumped into. Love the intrigue....
