Land Preparation:pumpkins

 

A farmer who wish to grow pumpkin will have to till the soil and remove all the plant debris. Secondly, pumpkins are typically grown at the centre of small hills or earth mounds. Prepare the hills leaving a trench of about half a foot to hold water around the roots of the plant. If you plan to plant more than one hill, make sure they are at least ten metres apart. Mounding will allow better drainage and raised soil allows better heating of the seedling and soil around it in the cooler days.
