Very busy day yesterday as it was the first time it did not rain on my day off in 5 weeks. Soil Solarization is underway for my 2017 pumpkin patch. I first took a soil sample that will be sent to Western Labs in Parma Idaho for disease DNA testing. In September when solarization is complete I will test again to see if I dropped my levels of soil pathogens. I then mixed 32 ounces of Mighty Mustard Trifecta Blend mustard seed with 5 pounds of WOW Humic Acid and spread it over 4000 sq ft. The mustard seed was lightly tilled in and watered. Hopefully I will be in flower in early July so I can chop the mustard to release the glucosinolates,(mustard gas) add compost water and cover with clear plastic. The plastic will stay on until late August.
