Calm Soil

Been reading a lot of biochar literature lately. Picked up with quote from Andrew Jackson Dowling:

"Canals and railroads wrote a one-way ticket for soil fertility. They bring from the West millions of bushels of grain, and send not one fertilizing atom back to restore the land. And in this way we shall by-and-by make the fertile prairies as barren as some of the worn out farms of Virginia."

This prescient statement was made in 1851 prior to the dust bowl.

I have not made #biochar on purpose, but I have one of those Titanium portable rocket stoves, and when I terminate my cooking, I have a small amount of charred wood bits, some charcoal, some biochar and a little ash in various stages... I always dump it into a #10 can and add sand/soil on top to stop the burn - this gets added to my next soil mixing when I make my own posting mix.

As for exporting biomass, even on a microscopic level - it's a given in a "consumers will be mined for profit" environment!
