Terra Preta
A recipe you might be looking for.
This is the culmination of many years of research to gain an understanding of how the super fertile, black soil of the Amazon, created by the Eldoradians, came into being. This recipe is the result of reverse engineering the compounds currently found in this soil.
Aim
Turn soil into a living, nutrient-rich system
Boost microbes, bacteria, and worms
Improve plant growth, health, and yield
Ingredients
2.5 kg chopped organic kitchen waste (no caffeine items)
2.5 kg sandy soil
2.5 kg farm animal manure
2.5 kg crushed charcoal (dust is best)
300 ml yogurt
300 ml fruit juice
300 ml beer
300 ml urine
Water (as needed)
250 g earthworms
Small amounts: diatomaceous earth, clay/kaolin, bonemeal
When most people think of Elderado, it's difficult for them to contemplate the scope of the supply chain that existed, to feed the millions of people that lived and worked there.
Preparation, Use and Benefits
Chop or blend the kitchen waste and crush the charcoal into small pieces. Mix all wet ingredients together and mix the dry ingredients separately, then combine both, mixing thoroughly. Add water until the mixture is moist but not soggy, seal it tightly in an airtight container or thick plastic bag, and let it ferment for two weeks in a cool, shaded place. After fermentation, mix it with garden soil at a ratio of 1:1 to 1:10, water well, add earthworms, and keep the soil moist during the first season. This improves soil fertility naturally and boosts microbial life and worm activity. Micro organisms like beneficial bacteria, fungi, microbes and worms need a moist environment to survive. This supports stronger plant growth and higher yields.
