Composting can improve poor soils by 66% but by adding biochar poor soils can be improved by 126%. Biochar sequesters carbon from the atmosphere and the final product, when added to soils, can change marginal lands to productive lands in rapid and reasonable amounts of time.</span></font></p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>In my opinion, the Two Block Diet (TBD) is one of the best local food initiatives in the city; it would be great if there was at least one such initiative in every VV neighbourhood transition village.</p>
<p>TBD co-initiatators Kate Sutherland and Julia Hilton have scheduled a Two Block presentation for tomorrow evening (Thursday the 24th) from 7-8:30 at Strathcona Community Centre, but it will need to be canceled unless we know more people are coming.</p>
