Digging pits for your pumpkins ( pro-vs-con)

As we are getting closer to planting time ( thank goodness) I want to bring up the subject of digging pits to plant your seed in.  The soil in both my plots is very fine ( no clay) & when turning over my tiller can easily sink to a depth of 1-2 ' if you are not careful. Now with a depth like this is it really needed to dig out a deeper depth. I really don't want to bother with it since my whole patch has been well composted & the organic level in one of my patches currently reads 13%.
 When do those of you on the list feel it is needed & when it is not needed..........
Thanks................Paul
