30’x30’x1’deep/27 = 33.33 cu. Yd. of topsoil.  Trust me, I do this for a living.

WOW, what a response.

 

Thanks for all the info on my request and for the tons of email I got for Giant Tomatoes, I kind of figured Giant Pumpkin growers had already been there and done that.

 

I hope you all don't mind this off topic and not keeping with

this groups subject but hopefully If I post this I will slow down all the emails I've been getting.

 

Just to let you know I am cleaned out on seeds for Giant

Tomatoes this year but if you want to add yourself to my list I will send you some for next season. I don't sell seeds, you supply the stamp, I give you the seeds or we can swap for some Giant Pumpkin seeds (1262 Emmons and a couple 1260 Weir sounds good (ya right eh?)) a good place to try is a heirloom seed seller for this season go with goliath.

 

Plus I am putting together a site on How to Grow Giant Tomatoes it is about 50% finished and there is enough

to get you started. The rest will be up in a week or so

If after going to the site you need more info then by all

means e-mail me.

Don't get me wrong I love emails all 98 of them the last time I checked 10 mins ago. But I feel if you take your time to write me, I should as well give you a reply, but I'm getting

writers cramp and the wife is screaming for me to get off

the computer and spend time with her. (I married her what more does she want.)

 

Any ways thanks for the info and I will probably get wrapped

on the knuckles for this off post but I promise I will never do it again...

 

One last thing I'm trying to figure out how much soil I need

for my now revised pumpkin patch (thanks Dr. Bill) 30'x30'

I want 12" depth. How do I figure out how many yards of top

soil I need. And Peter Paynter (or any one else) is there anything that makes the stem end seed you sent me better than any other seeds.

 

Thanks
