I said awhile back I would post about my custom garden hoe. This was a flat edge hoe for pushing concrete I believe but flat edges dont slice anywhere near as well as an angled edge when it comes to tough fibrous roots like established clumps of grass this thing is perfect. It came with the holes, these dont do much other than lighten it up a bit but so they do help it act as a weed cutting/slicing tool rather than a dirt moving tool.
The 9 pots are the soil samples from different patches for the bioassay. I have nine pumpkin seeds of equal weight (and the same stock) in a paper towel. The weight of the seeds does affect the initial size of the seedling... Trying to eliminate variables to just figure out where the soil is at chemically and biologically. This will give me an idea of which patches are ready to go, and which may need work/amendments.
Obviously to grow the biggest pumpkin it would make sense to use the patch that shows the most potential using this at-home soil test.
Should start to see the results in 2-6 weeks.
