Default Biochar in the news

like wheeling out the good old slash and burn technology under a
different light?

they never mention the pollution caused in making the stuff once put
into the atmosphee can't be taken back (smoke and gasses not
contained), nor the transporation of it from point of making to where
it is to be used and also the transporting etc.,. of trees to the burn
site, also the preassure put on forests this becomes another reason to
deal in deforestation.

icing does make the cake hey?

the picture on this site speaks a thousand words:

also see my page for pic's of homemade incinerators all in the name of
bio-char (quiet a back yard industry burgeoning to make and supply
like to other gardeners):
