Jeff and I decided to do some soil testing on our new dirt to look at what amendments we will need to add for the growing season. Jeff collected some of the dirt that was already in the patch (mostly Cedar Grove Booster Blend) as well as some of the new Kent Valley dirt and Sand that we added to the patch. We are going to send a representative sample to Western Labs as well as A&L Labs in Memphis. We sent a third sample to the Rodale Institute for pathogen testing. We really want to get all the information we can to prevent foaming stump from occurring in our pumpkin patch for a third year in a row.
