Whaa huuuhhh? This was the 1st year i grew pumpkins (store bought seeds) so i have no idea if this is good or bad. Any advice would be appreciated. I have a call into Craig Lembke to try to give me some suggestions as well. The test also came with a nice pie chart to show me how good or messed up certain things were. Very interesting.
One thing that threw me was my PH (remember i am new at this) I have 5 evergreens in my yard and one that is right on top of the garden. I thought that would keep my ph low. Again any help/advice. Pretty cool learning experience so far.
