We've had a great learning forum here with Dr. Azomite and numerous others who have great farming and gardening backgrounds.
Dr. Azomite immediately identified the problem with my soil by viewing one picture of my former asparagus patch. Since his pronouncement on my soil and its cure, the garden took off. This lead me to start over and build 16 raised beds of varying sizes as the final solution.
I add bio-char, azomite, and mycorrhiza when mixing compost in my compos tumbler.
Your charred wood approach was used on a successful farm in Vietnam by an immigrant I know in my neighborhood. Keep doing what you're doing; you will have a great garden someday. Actually from last summer's pictures, you're doing greatly already and your charred wood will only make it better.
I think it was easglesurvivor who loved to burn leaves and sticks every autumn.
Good luck
