And speaking of the potatoes, I've pulled out half the potatoes from the 811.5 Schweigert patch. This 150 sq ft patch produced a 400 and 100 lb pumpkin, and about 100 lbs of potatoes. Maybe I should not give up on mixing potatoes and pumpkins...

It's possible since potatoes like phosphorus they might steal the extra phosphorus out of the soil and make it more mycorrhizal-friendly? My soil was good this year... Not great, but it was good. I do think I would need richer soil for this two-crop system to really work. If I had a little bit richer soil... And spaced the potatoes (2 ft. apart...?) it might just work.
