Greensand

While many growers will note the potassium this contains, I do not add it for this purpose. The plant availability of the nutrients is very slow due to the long time it takes to break down in the soil. However, I do add it for the trace elements that much like the kelp meal, can be beneficial to the plant and soil biology but are not needed in any large quantities.

For giant pumpkins, I use a rate of about 30-40 pounds per 1,000sq.ft.
