Greetings, I have read but could not quote from where:
Wood ashes are generally not good for gardens or regular compost heaps, this
material tends to be high in heavy metals more likely to cause harm than
good.
Bat Guano is very high in Nitrogen.
Good luck all

Anyone
I work in a place that would give me an unlimited supply of
coffee
grounds
and wood ashes. I also have a friend that has bats and is willing
to give me
and large amount of bat quano.
My question is "Are these good for pumpkins?"
Has anyone used any or all of these soil amendments and what was
their
success.
I am also putting on 5 to 8 yards of horse manure on my sight.
It is
about
1200 square feet. I plan to have two plants, maybe moving down to
one if
there is one outstanding plant.
Does anyone have suggestions on how much to apply? >>
Coffee Grounds Analysis: 2--0.3--0.2 acidic compost with lime
added.
Bat Guano I think is very high in nitrogen.
