Special thanks to Steve Heaslip and Cape Cod News for use of the image of turnips and Bob Wells at the Eastham Turnip Festival.
They found algae in the soil. I think they were using the river seaweed aka algae to charge the char with. It would make sense as the black soil is around the river and the place where the most nutrients are found is in the algae. What better than algae. Must be an integral part of the system. I live on the ocean so I have been studying seaweed in the garden. I have tons of bull kelp I can get truckloads at a time. Putting it thru the wood chipper is fun too.
Can't believe i watched this again but im glad i did. Excellent, honest & down to earth.
Thank you.
To bad you didn't have any pictures of your Amazon trip to share.
Why can't I just buy charcoal and crush it up?
My guess is it wasn't intentional. They made landfills and they decomposed into what we see today.
Am interesting in lorning more about therpreta

First of all that isn't the reason the roots are shallow per se. In bogs for example and wetlands the tree roots also are exposed and or shallow fire great lengths becaUe they don't like to get constantly wet. I'd imagine a rainforest would have the same issue and therefore trees would have shallow exposed roots for that same reason they do in all wetlands and bogs
Thomas Mann is a German writer. Yiou mean Charles C. Mann

This is gold information ⚡️
I have heard recently that new evidence is being found of human habitation in the American continents as far back as 30-45 thousand years ago. Potentially people have been improving the soil far longer than we have thus far given them credit for.
They go on and on about native Americans like they are the only ones. This has been a world wide practice since time immemorial. For instance why farms can be found near volcanoes in Europe, Asia Africa, the Americas, basically everywhere.
Do i need to activate my charcoal before add it in the compost?
Great workshop! Just wanted to add, I believe the book 1491 is by Charles Mann, not Thomas Mann who was a German Novelist of the early 20th century.
Blah, blah, blah……just get to the point….the facts….and how to do it without all the unneccessary talk.

Sooooo, will it be good to soak the chips in a liquid fertilizer to load it, if we don't have compost, if we did that, how long would you soak it, and should you then let it dry out to use over time as you are potting plants
Well… Terra preta mean Beautiful dirt or beautiful soil
Does anyone know where I can find out more information about his boat idea at the end? If he has done it or goes further into detail about it in another video?
This idea would be absolutely in the state of Florida where those algae blooms can be major problems!
