Nutrient Pits
Hi Everyone....I haven't heard too much debate on this but I'm looking for
guidance. In my growers package of info from Port Elgin's Pumpkinfest,they
pretty much indicate that a nutrient pit is the way to go.You did a 3x3 or
4x4 hole at the plant site and add all sorts of good "stuff" for the SQUASH
plant...manuer,etc...What i'd like to know is ...if you all dig nutrient
pits---what do you put in them and at what mixtures? Manure? Ironite?
Fertilizer? Greensand? What works for you? (I may have a last minute
secondary plant site and have no time to modify the whole patch's soil....I
can till and add fertilizers but no idea what organic content is nor do I
have time for a soil test.I can do the ph...but it would be a stretch to
correct it if its out too much . i think a nutrient pit will help me out but
i don't have a good recipe.....anyone?....thanks...glenn
