I am one of the few South African Giant Pumpkin Growers. I have start
preparing the soil of our pumpkin patch. The way I prepare is a bit
different than the usual. We had a slight problem here. The soil is very
poor, and I decided to dig 4 feet deep holes, about 10 feet by 10 feet. I
then started filling the hole with some compost, some good soil and monure
and mixing some ferteliser in. I water the patch each day, for the
ferteliser to disolve and for the nutriets to break up into the soil. I am
now ready to plant the seeds, but only one problem, I'm still waiting for
the seeds to arive in the post.
I 'll try to keep everyone updated on how everything is doing. By the way,
does anyone know what the South African record is??
