As far as this six weeks go, I have met my goal of exploring the various remediation efforts that have been carried out for remediation of desertification. The UN's website was a great help as far as that goes. For my experiment I will be using biochar, compost, leaf mulch with (possibly) compost tea, and a combination of biochar with compost in used of coffee filters.
These particular methods were chosen based on low expense, availability of resources, and simplicity of use. I should also mention that the leaf mulch is being used to mimic the effects aforestation after the trees have been established.
The experiment itself is coming along slowly. Unfortunately it takes about two weeks to prepare biochar and compost tea, and I am 3 days into that.
So I will try to have everything together in about a week.
