So I gave up wood working for the winter and decided if I was to be serious in growing a giant pumpkin and growing one over a thousand pounds, I had better to 2 things. Number 1....Get good seeds.....done.
Number 2.....Read everything I could find about soil and study it. Did it......Here's what changed over the winter and I can't complain.
Garden Patch where I grew the 379 Swearingen 2011 Fall 2011 Spring 2012 pH 7.3 7.0 OM% 6.5% 6.9% NO3-N 24 12 P 118 208 K 2481 1177 Texture- Loamy Sand Loam CEC- 8 16
We had over 15 inches of rain and as expected some of the nutrients washed out to help bring everything to being closer in balance. I don't think I could have come closer to the bulleye!
