PUMPKIN SOIL QUESTIONS
WHAT ARE GOOD FERTILIZERS TO USE?
I HAVE CLAY AND DUG 7 'WIDE 5' DEEP PITS A FEW YEARS AGO AND FILLED THEM
WITH COMPOST. I'm THINKING OF PUTTING A BUNCH OF MANURE ON TOP AND ROTERTILLING
IT IN. IS THIS A GOOD IDEA?
WHAT IS THE PH SUPPOST TO BE? HOW DO I CHANGE IT?
I USED FISH IMULTIONS AS FERTILIZER IS THAT GOOD TO ADD EVERY WEEK?
ALSO I HAD AN IDEA ABOUT A HYDRO PUMPKIN, TELL ME IF THIS IS FEASABLE?
TAKE A CHEAP 10' POOL X 30 " WHICH HAS A FILTER AND IS UNDER 100.00 HOLDS
600 GALLONS OR MORE.
CUT DOWN A PLASTIC FOOD GRADE DRUM FILL IT WITH THOSE CLAY PEBBLES TO ROOT
THE PLANT IN
THE WEIGGHT SHOULD HOLD IT IN PLACE
ON TOP OF THAT HAVE LADUS WOOD AT THE SURFACE SUPPORTED IN PLACE BY THE
BARREL .
THIS WOULD HOLD THE VINES ABOVE THE WATER BUT LET THEM ROOT IN THE WATER AS
WELL
THEN I'LL HAVE TO MAKE SOMETHING TO HOLD THE PUMPKIN SO ITS NOT IN THE WATER
AND ITS NOT ON THE LADUS A SHELF OF SOME KIND FROM OUTSIDE THE POOL ON A
TALL STERDY PLATFORM WITH LOTS OF WEIGHT HOLDING IT DOWN
THEN THEFILTER KEEPS THE WATER MOVING I CAN TAKE READINGS AND ADD CHEMICALS
AS NEEDED
