Hey Ho, folks,
Now that I've settled into the list, I have a few questions I'd like
to run past you more experienced Pumpkineers out there. This will mark
my first serious attempt to grow a huge AG, and I must admit I'm a bit
green.
My city has a wonderful Municipal Compost program; Good black stuff
with lots of leaf mould. has a Ph of around 7.5. We can take as much as
we can haul off. I was considdering mixing the soil for my mound this
year from scratch, and thought about using a combo of 3 parts of this
compost, two parts peat, 1 part vermiculite and one part sand for
drainage. Any comments or ideas; Remember, I'm new at this.
Also, I'm interested in cross breeding. Anyone know of any
resources/publications? Thanks!
Ernest.
