Pacth is my normal vegetable garden. Measures 20x40 so I'll half it and get 2 20x20 plots for my 2 pumpkins.

Last fall I added the following amendments...2 pickup loads of cow manure, 2 pickup full of mushroom compost, one pickup full of mulched n bagged leaves, 5#'s epsom salt, 25#'s lime for PH and several wheel barrows full of home made compost. I tilled it all in and left sit over winter.

I sent a soil sample to Penn State, I know yinz all use Western Labs I think. Well it came back saying that I only need to add N to my soil. I exceed the major nutrients by a boat load...I know this can be bad!! I'll post a picture ot the soil results and maybe someone can steer me in the right direction.
