The message
from gary davis contains these words:

Does this mean that here at uk.rec.gardening posters could possibly discuss
improving soil worldwide?


We could. Have you come across the use of crushed virgin rock as a
source of minerals?

The most (and best) fertile soil on this planet is the white-sand beds of
the River Ganges as it sweeps past Khanpur in the Central Provinces..
Except during the monsoons when a 100 yard trickling steam becomes a
mile-wide raging torrent of water.
Skeletons, bodies from the burning ghats, skulls bobbing up and down and
the empty eyesockets winking at you as they float past. Cows and buffalos
grossly distended by suppurating internal gasses; their fat carcasses half
submerged and the thin legs pointing upwards in fours , like a four-masted
Bunder Boat.
Trees and wrecked bashas (cane and adobe shacks), sometimes with the
occupant still sitting on the top
in complete tranquillity awaiting his fate and trusting in the judgement of
his Gods.
After the monsoons cease all those miles of river-bed area will blossom with
the greenery of every imaginable edible plant, which will be harvested at
the appropriate time and within a day or two lie in the baskets of the
street bazaars, fresh and ripe and ready for immediate.consumption. You
have never tasted grub like it. The finest and best produce in the whole
world, excelled only by the vast fertile Natal farms which also have perfect
climates and plenty of seasonal rain.
My Fave is the mango which of course does not come from the riverbed but
from irrigated land. Only two days old , rosy yellow and superbly juicy,
sweet and luscious. If you come by one, - don't try to eat the nut!. (:^)
.. When at home in England and I espy those hard green mangoes in the
supermarkets I could weep. You can complain but it's useless. They haven't
a clue as to what you are talking about.

So green mangos are out and rosy yellow is in? Will the green mangos ripen
over time? Why is it that the green mango end up on the store shelf?
