3js, all organic matter helps. My African Mahoganys drop huge amounts of leaves just at the start of the wet season. I spread those deeply on the gardens. It helps protect the soil from the pounding rain but it's all gone towards the end of the wet. The soil needs a "nutrient trap". Clay particles and charcoal (fine) does that best for me. Horse manure is good, just that if you can hot compost it first you avoid the problem with weeds.

I can see there's soon going to be one happy Happy_1 cruising the deep blue sea. Have a great trip.
