I use poultry manure myself as it is freely available, just use plenty of it
and bear in mind that if there is a lot of hay, straw or woodchips with the
manure that these take time to break down so you want to apply it in the
fall.
Well done with your pumpkin.

Subject: different types of manure / German weighoff results
Hi,
Now, as the weighoffs are over I am already planning for the next growing
season. I would like to add some manure to my soil this fall in addition to
a
cover crop of winter rye. But I am not sure which type of manure is best for
giant pumpkins. I have available cow and horse manure. Which of them is
better
and which will break down quicker? What do you think? What is your
experience?
Thank you very much,
Martin Reiss

P.S.: For those of you who are interested: I took second place at the German
National Pumpkin Weighoff.
The results ( top five ) were:
1. Eugeniusz Zygadlo 500.9 lbs
2. Martin Reiss 480.2 lbs
3. ? Heckelmann 376.9 lbs
4. Rainer Krautmann 360.2 lbs
5. Michael White 222.7 lbs
