THE ADVENTURES OF KUNTAN MAN

kuntan is rice hull charcoal . google it and find out what a wonderful soil amendment it seems to be ... we believed the stories and decided to make some ...

that didnt really belong on there ...

and we are off . small fire in the bell of the kuntan make , burns the mound of hulls from the inside out , 

when the dreaded black spots appear , the fire will return inside the pile reducing the charcoal produced to ash , rather than charcoal . i did this to a whole bunch I didn't extinuish properly . bugger .

it smokes a lot , so be prepared with your funny face 

and we are done . add it to your potting mix .

this years potting mix ...

be a little bit careful not to hurt the residents of the rice hull pile

THE SEEDLING PROGRESS
