<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Good morning , Being a soil health enthusiast , Meaning , I dont dig , worms do my digging thats why they were invented . I work with nature ! Through trial & error I can now make compost ready to use within 3 to 4 weeks
im also using it has a growing medium 100 % , It works . Laverstoke laboratories in Hampshire tested my compost & it came back . Bacterial activity ; excellent . Fungal activity ; excellent . Fungal Biomass is exceptional . my proof in writing ! I also make
good compost tea . that was tested & found to include rotifers which you should know are good . When started about 5 years ago by the soil association i went to the first compost tea seminar this was to get our farmers using compost teas as in the states !
I use mycorrizal fungi & bio char . I talk all over the country passing on my knowledge . Saw this advertised last year & thought superb i can pass on my methods . Was then told as i have been told again that you turn your nose up at meat eaters ! Discrimination
i think its called , anyway your loss ... The compost king .</p>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">8 weeks to go- time to start putting a biochar show together. The first question I need to ask is: can scrap pallets be sourced locally? The more firewood I have to haul from Slough, the less equipment I can bring. Stands
to reason.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">What format of demonstration/ workshop would excite people? Remember, it's not about "making charcoal", it's about integrating your cooking/water heating/space heating needs with charcoal production to deploy as biochar-
otherwise two thirds of the energy in the wood goes to waste.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I can bring:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">2 proven RWAP burners</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">1 mini RWAP</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">A 2m by 1m grid and supports to make a basic field kitchen.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Basic ingredients and utensils to make chapattis and soda bread, but I'm obviously reluctant to handle food with the same hands as I handle the charcoal with- could I hook up with someone with a bit of food hygiene savvy?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Various stack burners, but I'm leaning towards the idea of bringing the components of an entry level stack burner, demonstrating how to build it in the evening, and lighting it after dark.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
