Latest agricultural innovation, or is it?
This is really funny, I just read about some new found technique at the cutting edge of modern agriculture thats supposed to deal with carbon capture in soil and help with world food production and eliminate hunger. Say what?
I didn’t understand it either but the way it works is like this right, 1500 years ago a bunch of tribesman from the Amazon region used to mix charcoal with their soil and now its the most fertile soil in the world, my old grandad would be proud, he always used to stick the ash from his fireplace in his veggie garden, swore it gave him better carrots and sprouts than any of his neighbors.
So these scientists are going to encourage farmers all over the world to start mixing coal into their soil to improve things and eliminate world hunger, and all I keep thinking is back in the 80’s we closed down most of our coal mines here in the UK, put a bunch of people out of work and all this time we could’ve used the coal to make a fortune on the world market. Funny as.
But it gives me hope that my dream of driving one of these stonking great Tonka trucks might still be a reality instead of just a childhood dream never to be realised.


my old man also worked the mines and when I tell him coal is the next saviour of humanity I bet he’s gonna start on his anti-thatcher soapbox all over again
I thought I read it wrong too. Just the other day, we were mixing our ashes from fireplace to grow my seeds.
Hm… scientists never fail to amaze me with everything they probably learnt from their grans?
