| I am a novice gardner, who likes organic gardning. I believe most
plants needs is best met by the correct amount of sand with tiny
peables, and clay from decomposing rock, coke which is chunks of wood
burnt all the way through, and processed human dung. I live in alto NM.
USA. In Alto we have a ski resort and one growing season. Nurshery
people advise not to put most plants in the ground until after mothers
day. I am curranty sucessufly growing symernian Quinces, Golden
delisious apple trees, and a mission olive, that can only grow here
with special divine help from the Lord Jesus. And thank him for having
all my trees gow.

Welcome, I totally disagree with your comments about coke, charcoal, etc,
all unnecessary. Most soils just need the incorporation of well rotted
manure/compost to stay healthy and in a veg garden that's once every 4 years
if you are on a 4 year rotation. 1 year old Horse manure is excellent.
Limeing may be necessary depending on the pH of your soil. Anything else
would need a proper professional soil test.
Golden delicious... I can think of tastier apples.
Perhaps you could ask your Jesus to make them tastier. :-)
This is a UK gardening Ng BTW.

You sure are putting a lot of crap into that garden.
