Congrats on new house, with ready made garden no less! As long as it gets
some sun, your in good shape to grow El Grande!
Did a little research & found this URL:

Scroll down to...... The Dark Side of Charcoal-With a Natural
Solution.......
Seems Kingsford hasn't told me everything that's in their product. My advise
is to remove as much of the black briquettes as you can & dry them out/then
reuse it if possible. If not reusable I guess it has to go in the trash
which means a landfill gets "borax, limestone, wood scraps, and a petroleum
binder". I definitely would not want ANY of the "petroleum binder" in my
garden or groundwater.
Hope this helps,
Paul
