Thanks Chris!
Any links for more info?
Does David Yarrow have a web-site?
Specifically, I have raised bed veggie gardens in 4×20 (80 sq ft) plots. How much charcoal, in pounds, should I add to each plot? It may seem silly, but if this is going to catch on, a lot of pioneers are going to have to crow about it.
I live in a small town where the smoke of charcoal creation would not be welcome. I’ll need to buy it or persuade a rural buddy to let me make it on his land. So, “how much do I need” is crucial for me to try it.
Thanks!

Grassroots low-tech carbon sequestration. Who can argue with that?
This is a rare gem of a man. His understanding of biologically correct agriculture is so elegant, so simple. The problem I have with mainstream organic is that they too often sound like they have no idea what they’re talking about whenever it comes to the soil beneath their plants. They still think in terms of NPK when there are thirty something acknowledged macro and micronutrients in the field of “deep organic”.
This guy knows soil fertility, this guy knows his stuff. Feed the soil, get healthy plants that can fight back disease and produce high yields.
Thanks Chris!
