Some additional notes and observations
@HorcaDobleMango

#carbonActivado tanslates in german into #AktivKohle, that's the stuff you find in high quality filters, including filters for #fishTank's, #aquarium's and filres for drinking water as they have the capabilty to filter out all kind of chemicals from air and water. That's the same effect that carbon creates by storing chemical elements in it's space and structure in the soil for #plants and #microorganisms.

Creating carbon from wood by explosively cooling it down throwing it into water, transforming it into "active carbon" resolves the arduous task of creating carbon in an anaerobic setup, an interesting point because we could come up with some kind of #rocketStove with a continious feeding process, seperating glowing carbon from the rest, letting it somehow roll into a water recipient while using the heat created to warm up our houses in the winter. As of now not solved in this idea is what to do with the water steam that is produced, or even to think about some secondery use for that steam. These "ideas/considerations" are actually the result of:
* There is no waste, only primary materials
* Every element in a system has to fulfill at least two goals

What we couldn't find out into deep till now is a the issue that apparently carbon can be #hydrophobe or #hydrophilic and which process makes it hydrophillic. We guess that this is in part an important detail as the carbon harbors not only chemical elements but also is a kind of apartment building for microorganisms and their are probably different apartments for aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms.
Perhaps in the case of your soil some hydrophobic carbon could be even the better option.

Our question about the kind of soil, in part depending of the region you are from, is due to the observations that carbon to create terra preta is very usefull for old leached soils like those of the #Amazon basin, #SouthAmerica and #Africa in particular, as well as probably for example the sandy soils of #Brandenburg and #Mecklenburg-Vorpommern or regions of Spain, while the benefits in soils like Hessen, Western Germany in general and most likely the whole of central europe aren't that extraordinary, even tho they are most likely always beneficial.

With respect to the profile @permaculture, that is a friendica forum page for the fediVerse.
"Our setup" includes the forum page server https://tupambae.org/ as well as the friendica server https://tupambae.com/ harboring also the forum page profiles @permaculture for english and french and @permakultur for german. If you subsribe to a #forumPage and mention that profile in a inicial post (toot) that post will be reshared by that profile page and send to all it's subscribers!

The dot com server is for single profiles and harbors for example a friendica profile @[email protected]. That profile, besides being a standard account in the fediverse actually mirrors publicacions of this mastodon profile over here, in part examplifying the permaculture principal:
* Every element in a system as to be covered at least by two elements/aspects.

At the same time by using #friendica we have the benefits of all the extras that a fediVerse server software brings to the table for profiles and projects like:
* #imageGallery
* #calendar
* #personalNotes and #privateMessage
* #directory for to sort publications
* no character limite
* enhanced text editing tools like #bbCode and #markdown
* #postPreview

simultanios cross publications:
* by email
* to other platforms like #diaspora, #bluesky and #tumblr

In other words, a friendica server for the fediVerse is not only a perfect choice for "Fachbereichsprofile" of a #university like
@unikassel, something like https://social.uni-kassel.de, it's also extremely usefull for projects and larger articles.

Please keep us updated in particular about this very interesting project of yours, actually the best would be as answers in this very thread, so we can save your content in our setup and spread it into the #fediVerse.
