Hello Jeof,

I've had a similar experience growing veggies in recently cleared forest. The forest knew what it was doing and there are plenty of nutrients there for the veggies to partake of. The key seems to be doing it without aid of a bulldozer or other heavy equipment which compacts the soil and removes the decomposing forest litter.
