[Gasification] Looking for contact info for Jeff Davis

[Ray Menke]

Lori,
Here is a link to a 36 page paper discussing biochars.
<http://www.biochar-international.org/sites/default/files/All-Biochars--Version2--Oct2009.pdf>
In my own personal garden, the use of biochar mixed into my compost
has greatly increased the yield of onions, peppers, and potatoes, but
seems to have stunted my okra and blackberries.  (The grass around the
biochar making area is extremely lush, and my cows love it..)  I know
blackberries like a pH around 5.5, and the ash that I added to the
compost raised that pH.  Ray
