The second confirmed giant pumpkin location for next year. I am going to use a few AG's to re-introduce mycorrhizal fungi to the 40+ year old garden area. All the AG leaf node roots will be used as fungal islands to spread throughout the garden. The cover crop pictured is over last years compost pile location that I was going to use for giant tomatoes but grew tomatoes near there this year so decided to go with another AG instead.
The neighbors had raked a bunch of leaves to the alley so I gladly took them off their hands and relocated them to the new AG planting site. Plan is to attract and hold earthworms to work their magic over the winter. Next spring I plan to add a quick early cover crop over the leaves to pull some deep nutrients up from below.
