Last spring I had to remove all of the soil I had in place so a new heating system could be installed. Since I had to bring in new material I decided to work with actual “field soil” that I worked on tweaking about three years ago. It has grown a nice pumpkin (Howard Dill winning) with little effort so I am confident that this soil can produce.
This image shows the area where basically the top 6-9” of soil was removed. While equipment was used for this part of the process, to get the soil in the greenhouse there is a small entrance door that required manual labor. While over 20 yards was delivered just feet from the growing site all the soil had to be carried in by hand. I want to thank all the members of the Team that helped on a variety of days to get the soil in the greenhouse before it snowed.
