Grow Perfect Pumpkins


Compost
 

Start Out Right

Compost is a soil miracle-worker. By adding compost before you plant, you'll loosen the soil, giving pumpkin roots an easier time growing. Compost also feeds the soil as it decomposes and helps your soil retain moisture better. Increase the effects by using compost as a mulch after your plants are up and growing.
