Hi all,
I think to have some problem of drainage in my soil, beacuse this year at
the end of august  is grown the moss in my pumpkins patch.

Can somebody explain me how I can improve the drainage of my soil without
change to much the nature of my soil ?

Thank you very much
Gianluca


I think if you check you soil PH you will find that it is really low. That usually causes moss. Add some line and you will bring up the ph levels, most of all have a soil test.
Most fertilizers will lower the PH levels in your garden.
As far as drainage you could put drain tile in or do it by adding organic matter to your soil.
Good Luck
