Ahhh a man after my own heart.  I've used the 10-10-10 or 12-12-12 for 
several years now and have had great success with it.  When I first made the 
block 4 X 4, I added 1/2 coffee can, well maybe 3/4 to start off. Coffee cans 
are now 13 oz I think.  At the end of the year after the block is cleaned up 
and ready for winter, I add another 1/2 can, along with as many leaves as the 
block can handle, turn it all over add more leaves and wait until spring.

In the spring, I add another 1/2 coffee can and turn everything over.  After 
4 years now all I have to do is show the seeds to the block and they grow, 
well it seems that way anyway.
