- Plant in a well-drained soil that is high in organic matter, and within a pH range of 5.5 -
7.5.
- Pumpkins need a 4 month period of comparatively hot weather and even soil moisture to
produce quality fruits.
- Apply a good straw or hay mulch around pumpkins to keep an even soil moisture.
- In poor soils digging a large planting hole and backfilling with compost will increase
yields and enable a more even soil moisture.
- Exhibition pumpkins are normally grown in straight compost and fruits are culled down
to one large fruit per plant.
