Wrote to whom? Good point about??
Maybe I misunderstand the reason for the ACGA forum, but it seems to me that it is well beyond just a place to discuss how to put together a community garden. I could most likely find 10 books on the subject or Organic Gardening, and find 10 unique approaches to it. It would be difficult without some serious analysis to put down any of those approaches. Are we not doing this to push the envelope of thinking on this rather large idea of Gardening in Community? We are all coming to this place with unique perspectives, and opinions. I find it all fascinating, and choose by my nature to keep an open mind. Frankly I do not know enough to do otherwise. As for this biochar discussion, I found it intriguing given my recently cultivated interest, the topic then sprang up in this forum. I wanted to hear more from folks who had some knowledge, because what I was reading in the technical literature has been difficult at times to decipher. Ken, I am surprise, given your international experience and exposure, that you have not run across this.

The level of idiocy is not in question here...it's stupid. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Hargesheimer" <[email protected]> To: "kane" <[email protected]> Cc: "Community Gardens" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 7:38 PM Subject: Re: [Community_garden] FACT SHEET ON BIOCHAR Kane, I can not believe the hype about such a sorry thing and the conflicting statements. Use crop reside and manure to make biochar which takes thousands of years to break down. I am not interested in it for farming and will await a response from a farmer if one ever uses it. Look at the energy it takes to make the stuff even out of non-farm waste. Composting is the way to go. Some people who want to become famous are using biochar to get their name before the world just like Al Gore and his sky-is-falling talk. There is plenty of proof he and biochar fans are wrong if one is seeking Truth. Ken Hargesheimer -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
