Any one ever heard of using milk as a sort of fertilizer? Someone told me he knew someone who did.

I won a book about pumpking growing at last years weigh-off, there is a chapter about milk that claims:
"Cut off one of the first leaves near to the stump at a lenght you are still able to fill something in (about 4 inches). Then get some rawmilk from a cow and pour it in."
I wonder where the author of the book got that information from.

Thanks. I wasn't sure about that one, but I thought I would ask anyway.

Even though I've never seen a giant pumpkin grown from injecting milk, that many "old wives" can't all be wrong. A very distinguished older female person once told me, " An old hen makes better soup"!. From now on, I will be feeding my pumpkins milk! (Someone has to PROVE this rumor!)

I think I remember reading something about an FAQ section on this sight a few days ago. This should definitely be Frequent Question number One.

Mr Bumpy knows his 'Little House on the Prairie'. I never read the books, just saw a few TV episodes from the series. I especially liked the episode where Pumpkin Fever was racing thru the town of Walnut Grove like a prairie fire and the only way to save the town's people was to get the Pumpkin Fever vaccine from Rochester, Minnesota, but the town was snowed in and the train carrying the vaccine could not make it up to Walnut Grove so Alamonzo Wilder Saddled up his horse and braved the blizzard to get the vaccine from Rochester, Minnesota to save the town of Walnut Grove. The first sign you are comming down with Pumpkin fever is you have a green thumb.
