The ministery of water management took tests of the ditch water running through our allotment a week or two ago. It turned out to be highly contaminated. It had killed off most life in the ditch and cows that were drinking it were getting sick or producing misshapen calves.

I have been using this water for several years and have been experiencing strongly diminishing pumpkin weights any many oddly shaped pumpkins. It appears my soil has been badly contaminated.

So there is one thing to do. Dig.
