The nutrient pit I dug was 4X4X2. The top was nice and black while beneath there was a great deal more clay and some rocks. I used 2 parts cow poop .2,.2,.2 to three parts native soil. The mount at the top I used some store bought vegetable and garden soil for the majority of the mounding. I still have the rest of the patch to work on but for now I just dont have the money to rent a tiller and get all those amendments. Hopefully once I get a second job I can better fund this extravaganza! Anyway, thoughts on how to grow pumpkins on a budget are greatly appreciated. Oh and also, do you all add amendments specifically to help in drainage or does the native soil usually take care of that? thanks,
Bond
