Russian blocking 13 is supposed to be good forage through winter. I'm going to order a bunch for my new herd. Pigeon pea is their favorite right now. But they love moringa snacks too.

Supposedly there are seed available from australia in bulk. And there are whispers that they are planted at a USDA test plot in Hilo. Still haven't seen one.

My understanding is that the best results come from "Vitamin P."

Thanks Douglas.
I have a system figured out on how to innoculate it. I'm wondering more about what alkalinity is required to make activated charcoal. And if ash is ok to use for that reaction rather than pickling salt.

I also have access to lemons and citrus. enough to make an acid version . But I only can find recipes for relatively loose quantities and not a PH that creates the reaction. I would like to be scientific about this I have litmus paper so it's easy to test a solution. I'll reverse engineer the recipes if I can't get a more scientific answer.

I have been making charcoal for the last few weeks using a double barrel system. 30gal in a 55gal. It produces better each time. I'm still learning. My last batch was 15-20 gallons crushed. A biproduct of the combustion is ash. Can I just use the hardwood ash for activating it? It's potassium based so plants will love it still Mix ash with water add a little pickling lime to get the proper ph and then put it back in the reactor a few batches later when I can refill the barrel? It would seem its way more valuable for nutrient absorption. Even though I'm really just doing it for soil water retention I want this stuff as potent as possible. What would the proper ph be to make the char active?
