Isn't that the expensive charcoal made from bamboo?
Why would normal charcoal not do the same thing?



Yup.
Not a clue... unless there's something special in bamboo that is
magical? Is bamboo used because it has long roots that adbsorb
nutrients well, or because it's prolific and easy to crop?

I shall have to take some photos before and after perhaps and look
back in a year and see if there's a difference between an untreated
patch.

I'm not going to eat it anyway!
