And over here, a good spot for a cantelope. Not exactly the right kind of dirt yet.
My guess is cantelopes wont like this soil. Gonna need 10 lbs of fertilizer here, and to sweeten it too. Then, maybe a soil test prior to planting? As much as I'd like to get things perfect, I have my doubts.
For example, they say some things like iron will test high in the soil, and in the plant too, but possibly its the wrong kind, and the plant may be a bit short on the correct kind of iron even when everything reads 'good'.
Its too easy to make assumptions. I think it could cost thousands of dollars to really know everything. And even then, you may not know everything.
Some things, like magnesium, might cause the fruit to ripen faster? Thats nice, but not when going for size. So where's the tradeoff between too little and too much, and can the general agronomic recommendations really he trusted? When growing for size you want a freak of nature, not normal produce you can harvest.
Just the wheels in my head spinning!!!
