Re: Re: Slow Pumpkin Growth
Hi Jim,
Thanks for the info on the application and amount. Since my ph
seems so low I think I will add a little bit more to bring it up
into the optimum 6.5 to 7.2 range that I read about in an
article in the NEPGA.
I use soaker hoses so I assume that method of application will
be okay. I just don't want to get them clogged up as that would
be a bit of a chore to replace the lines if they were to be
prevented from working. I went and found a product yesterday
called Finn HLL (Hydro Liquid Lime) at my local equipment rental
store (they rent hydroseeding equipment). It was a 2.5 gallon
(40lb.) container for about $30.
Glad to hear that your Brown1007(cross?) is already up to
150lbs+. I'll try to be a bit more patient :) with mine.
Thanks again for all the help.
