Re: any soil recommendations


Interesting that in your soil test the lab indicated that
Organic Matter of 6.01% is "high" - Maybe it's high for growing
wheat - but not for growing giant pumpkins.  

I consider 10% OM just adequate - my target is 15%.  I would
consider 20% "high".  In other words, adding a few yards of
compost will help improve your soil.

You might want to consider using a lab that provides base
saturation in the analysis so that you can try to balance the
cationic elements in your soil.

best of luck,

vince
