Here are the results for a week long incubation test on some char/peat moss mixes.
Char is portioned by volume. The density of the char and the peat moss are very close but I don't have the #s. I can do so but must oven dry the two and did not take the time yet.
EC units are micro-siemens/cm.
Tests are done using a SME or saturated media extract.
Please note that second table with EC values has been modified due to an error in the setting of the EC meter.
