Why would normal charcoal not do the same thing? Because the feng shui is all wrong, and it costs less. Do try to keep up with the latest fa^H^H^H, I mean scientific advances. The way to use it, of course, is to swallow some every time you eat Jerusalem artichokes, and sprinkle some on the dog's food. And it makes your teeth whiter and increases your sexual prowess.

Don't they still sell charcoal biscuits for dogs, when I was a lad a friend used to pinch them from his parents dog (the sack actually) and eat them. He was obviously many decades before his time. :-) -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

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! :) -- http://www.voucherfreebies.co.uk |

Is bamboo used because it has long roots that adbsorb nutrients well, or because it's prolific and easy to crop? The latter, I think. There's been a big commercial push on bamboo in the last few years: strips stuck together to make wooden things, even very soft fibres for textiles, etc etc. I've got an attractive mat, about 6' x 8', in my conservatory, made of one-inch flat strips with a rubbery backing. Probably quite a good thing, conservationistically...but there's always a catch (real or fictitiious). This faddy charcoal is probably made from the waste. The only bamboos I've met have had shallow roots. 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.

But they say that you can also use it for soil conditioner. Generally it turns the soil more alkaline if you crash them in pieces and mix them with soil. With me i've been using it in the electric pot for cleansing the water inside and put some of them into the pot filled only with water in which i grow some ivy or pothos indoors. Ono |

I bought some Takesumi charcoal after seeing it in the NALSAG magazine and am inoculating it (marinading) it in comfrey liquid manure. I am going to use a watering can to apply it to the soil and only use it in planting holes or seed drills. The theory is that the charcoal takes up the liquid fertilizer and allows it to be released slowly in the soil. I also have a dustbin full of charcoal marinading in comfrey liquid manure. This will be crushed with a bull hammer and applied in the same way. |
