Continuing soil preparation. My goal is to do what I can to prevent bacterial problems this year. The final step was hydrogen peroxide treatment followed by adding some beneficial bacteria to the patch. I diluted a gallon of 35% peroxide down to 2% using a hose end fertilizer sprayer, spraying over the whole patch. Then I ran the tiller over the patch to mix the soil, and repeated the peroxide spray treatment with a second gallon of 35%. The following day I added Terragrow, a beneficial bacteria to the patch. Hopefully these helpful bacteria will “crowd out” any harmful bacteria. Lots of calculations on figuring this stuff out. There sure is a lot of math involved with growing pumpkins…
