goshen its not critical to have a deep amended "pit" for a planting area.The vast majority of pumpkin roots stay in the top 8" of soil.Put your amendments in a 4 foot circle.blend them in evenly and then dig your planting hole in the middle.That will help mound the area(a slight hill)and make the amendments available for the plants early growth.
