Crispin,
An interesting suggestion as there is an old test method for determining
the carbon sorption propeties based on its ability to decolour a
standard molasses solution. So you have a one step test and augment process.

Dear AD
How about you trying this: soak some biochar in sugar and plant that along
with the seeds. This might provide the host environment needed for microbes
and feed the ones needed for mineral breakdown at the same time.
If you were to try it on something you know has a certain response to sugar
only, you could look for a difference. Using char from an open fire, a TLUD,
a gasifier, and 'fuel charcoal' would also be useful.
It seems to me both methods have some promise (char and sugar) so why not
combine them? One could sell reject molasses-soaked char as a way to use two
byproducts.
