Re: looking for good seeds for huge pumpkin at my wedding

Hey Chris, I love to use the "used" soil that they grow mushrooms in..Do you know of any mushroom growers in your area??? this is awesome stuff!!! and Man, can it supply your pumpkins with some good nutrition..as far as growing the whoppers..you'll have to get some other's advice..I just grow regular ones..but the discarded compost I get is awesome!!!  Good Luck!! D

halloween wedding. i have only had limited success 150-200 was my max. so far. any 
help on some good seeds or growing instructions would be appreciated, i have 
the growing giant pumpkin books but it didn't seem to help. i guess i need to 
get good seeds, know what and how much and how often to add stuff like 
fertilizer. how much and how often to water etc. i dug huge pits like in the 
book, because i have clay. i filled my four pits with 20 yards of compost, made 
from leaves and trees. this year is important to me, i need to grow a giant 
of 500# or bigger, i'd love a record pumpkin but i doubt that will ever happen. 
anyhow please help a fellow pumpkin farmer out.
