Richard,

When you say add coarse organic material, what do you mean?  What kind of
organic material and how do I add it?  I just put about 1" of compost on
top of the soil (didn't mix it in at all) and I have mulched it with cedar
bark.  It actually is not standing in water, at least when I was out there
the ground was moist but not wet in any way.

Thanks for the help on this.
