[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6681930, member: 63856"] The large pit method appears pretty popular as a historical way to improve soils - much of the Amazon lies on top of it, remnants of the Western Hemisphere's lost civilisation. The main points to consider: firstly you need to regulate airflow into the pit and secondly you need to be able to cut that off at the right time - which is why they evolved their production system to smaller pits later on; the losses were less when they got it wrong. Unfortunately the recipe was lost when diseases and viruses wiped them out :confused: No less fortunate than what's happening to those areas today, ie industrial soybeans and corn for biofuel ..... humans certainly take stupidity and greed to new heights :confused::confused::confused: [/QUOTE]
