The local orchard will spread apple pumice with their spreader in my pumpkin patch. Good idea? Bad idea?
Thanks, John

we use grape pumis but usually after it sets all winter and composts --it will heat and make good pumpkin stuff--but check its ph so you know what it is --rember your soil is like a cake mix you makeing for GP'S--so watch and test you amments before adding---craig

I added 300 pounds of apple pummice (in 500 sq feet) last fall and had great results this year.
