That afternoon Jeff went and tilled in the fertilizers and soil amendments with the little tiller. The little tiller does a really good job of mixing everything up. The dirt now looks really really nice. Much different than the �Black Death� that we had before this extensive dirt rectification process. I think we have done some excellent work. Look at the color of it. Now more earthy brown in coloration. When you take a couple hand full�s and squeeze it together it makes a ball that breaks apart pretty easily instead of a pitch black baseball. This dirt looks awesome. Plus with all the sand it will allow for the greater movement of water through the patch instead of retaining the water. The Cedar Grove is famous for clumping and holding dirt. Hopefully it�s got just what the pumpkins need to grow us a 500+ pound pumpkin in the patch.
