Day 1 - 150 Sq Ft Patch Setup & Layout Design

It'ss officially me kicking off Day 1 for the International 150 Sq Ft Giant Pumpkin Challenge!

My patch is precisely laid out to maximize my strict 150-square-foot footprint while setting up an optimized vine-training structure for the main vine and secondaries.
The soil has been prepped with organic amendments, cover cropping, and laid out for efficient drip irrigation to maintain maximum root development within my boundary.

Photos of the patch footprint are attached and check out the full Day 1 patch video walkthrough on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/pm93UER_yMs

Looking forward to following everyone's progress this season!

Holla,

Greg Thompson
Broken Arrow, OK
