when I do a search for terra preta, the thread doesn't come up... if I do a search for the misspelling above - terra petra, I get this thread.

just tried to grind up some cowboy that I soaked, and two of the pieces were just surface blackened wood. I was pounding for a minute and it wouldn't break lol.

thanks cool moe.

I actually knew about the thread and found it via google. I am suggesting we continue here because in the future others will not find it with the search feature. You dig?

 

[jaykush]

i find that thread easy in search, no need for another thread.

its also in the organic reference library sticky at the top along with many other good threads.

 

[mad librettist]

weird... I just tried it again. I typed "terra preta" in the search box.

I just got a handful of other threads.

can anyone else try it? do I have a trick account?

btw if you were to ask me, I'd say the reference library needs a new name, or structure, or something. newbies are not going there from what I read, and are surprised when someone points it out. Maybe call it "answers to the question you were about to ask".
