What is the best fertilizer for pumpkins?

Answer 1

Nitrogen-rich compost followed by phosphorus- and potassium-rich composts or 10-5-5 nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (NPK) fertilizer followed by 5-10-5 are the best fertilizers for pumpkins. Compost can be mixed into the planting hole and used as organic mulch. It is important to pour or spray vegetative-supportive teas from composted, diluted, strained carbon-rich fallen leaves and nitrogen-rich coffee grounds, fallen leaves, kitchen scraps and manure before flowering and fruiting stages. The tea requires composted, diluted, strained carbon-rich fallen leaves and phosphorus- and potassium-rich banana peels, grass clippings and wood ash for proper flowering and fruiting.
