Pumpkins in raised beds
« on: October 12, 2015, 22:26 »
For the first time, I grew my pumpkins and butternut squash in raised beds instead of ordinary soil beds, and had a fantastic crop.

I was wondering if I could grow them in the same raised beds, obviously topping up with new compost etc.

Anyone got any thoughts?

They are 1 of the crops that you don't have to rotate, so you could - as long as you feed them well, as they are gross feeders.
