Today we dig into our terra preta test bed and see what we can see. For the first season, everything grew very well. But later this year, the good growth stopped. My theory is that the trees are sucking up the fertility, but it could also be that the area we charged is running out of fertility. In this bed we buried bones, charcoal, manure, biochar and pottery shards to make terra preta. But it doesn't look like it's as amazing as it should be. What do you think? Leave a comment below!
