If it is priced cheaply, then there would be no need to butt in, but if it is priced way beyond the other amendments, then it will attract a lot of competition. If it is mined from Amazon, there could be a lot of political corrections. So what's the price per cu ft? |

Re: No need to research Terra preta any more
I did not price it nor look at the bag as to where it was produced.
It seems to me that it could not be imported. Now that you ask, I'll stop by and look at it, maybe get a photo. To me, it is clearly not what it claims to be, based upon what I know about it. Scams occur in many ways, including to us garden folks..... BTW, whats' up with Freeze pruf? A little late on delivery.... I'll take my Garden Weasel and my Ground Aug, my inverted tomato bag, and all my other tremendous tools.....any time

Terra preta = BioChar + soil + time Thanks for the info! You can get biochar at $127/ton if you order by the truckload. That's less than 7 cents/pound. Now hauling that 1 ton to over here would be a ton of money as well,  |
