Lawn amendment idea

thx712517 · 05-01-15, 12:51 PM

While reading about organic lawn care, a blog mentioned the idea of digging a hole two or three feet down with a post hole digger and filling it in with compost. The idea being this would create a localized area for soil microbes and worms to grow and then spread to the rest of the yard over time. It made me think about terra preta and how it grows over time. Any thoughts on digging a hole and filling it with biochar and compost to encourage the same thing?
