Biochar in 19th Century America and Europe, Historical Accounts

Reading some Historical accounts of farmers using charcoal as a soil amendment and observing old charcoal burning sites. In the 19th century, there seems to have been significant discussion in the U.S. and Europe, around using charcoal for amending soil. I published this research on my old blog, Turkeysong, in 2012 https://turkeysong.wordpress.com/2012... Some of the accounts are very interesting, especially those the discuss long term observations of the old pits where charcoal was once burned, which remained fertile for decades. Some of the accounts concerning new additions of charcoal are very promising too. I'm not so much an advocate of applying biochar as I am an advocate of widespread citizen experimentation with it. I feel sure that experimentation by gardeners and farmers in all of our widely varied climates and with all the different materials we have to work with, will yield a lot of useful knowledge. My own experiments are only a few years old. Some are already quite promising and there a lot more that I'd like to set up, some of them on a larger scale if I can get the resources to pull them off.
