worth...i saw a show on terra preta and it certainly grabbed my attention.
i tried making my own with the charcoal produced by my slow combustion heater.
i planted a roma tomato plant in it.
the plant looked healthy but somewhat stunted and never produced a single fruit. when i finally took it out of it's pot...it had the tightest root mass of any plant i've ever seen.
