Lets look at incorporating this information into ACT
techonology. If you read all about REGENERATING SOILS
WITH RAMIAL CHIPPED WOOD it may be wonderful but it
would be expensive to apply. Tree trimmers generate a
large amounts of material that interfere with
electrical wires. Most people can get this chipped
wood (mostly small limbs) free if they work at it. It
may not be perfect but it will work. Get it and apply
it and go on using ACT. My work has shown that surface
applying these chips as surface mulch will lead to
improved soil. It takes 3 years for the process to
reach full cycle and lead to constant benefits after
that. Which is the same period sited.

The application of ACT may help this process but it
will not interfere with conversion of wood chips to
soil and it will NOT interfere with the value of ACT.
Seems simple to my feeble mind that here is a simple
addition to the value of ACT.

Am I missing something?
