What I have here is a 3ft diameter 2ft deep hole for the primary giant pumpkin planting site connected to a 2ft wide 30ft long 18 inch deep trench filled with compost layers covered with the trench dirt. Above that a normal layered compost mound. The planting area is a first time till area as can be seen by the concrete sidewalk pieces unearthed in the process. The entire 20'x30' area has been fine tilled to a depth of ~12 inches and planted with a cover crop mix.
