The pumpkin patch is all ready to plant in. I have done a lot more with preseason ammendments. Normally I just till in 20-20-20 after adjusting for pH and adding compost. This year I added the following to my 5,000 square foot patch.
90 pounds of Kelp meal
40 pounds of Humic acid
150 pounds of Alfalfa pellets
25 pounds of 20-20-20
50 pounds of Sulpomag
And a handful of Osmocote to the starting area.
Also five-six quarts of perlite were blended into the starting area.
Lastly the whole area under the coldframe was covered with a landscape fabric. To help with early season weed control.
I am doing 4 plants while my son is growing 3. The weather is warming up this week and I hope to get the plants in the ground soon.
