Preparing the soil for planting

By now most of your seeds would have sprouted and you would be thinking of a place to plant the seedling. Soil preparation is the all important thing to remember here.

Dig a big (1m x 1m x as deep as you can)hole in a sheltered but very sunny spot and fill it with layers of compost, manure, and straw. You can either mound some soil on the top into which to plant your seedling, which will help with keeping the seedling warm, or leave a depression in your soil in order to aid with watering.

Make no mistake, these pumpkins grow big people, so you need lots of manure and compost to feed the plant...
