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.
