Im a first time paper mill fabric user and Ill be growing a 1300 lb pumpkin this year, I dont want the pumpkin growing off the fabric if I can help it, I was wondering what size (one piece)paper mill fabric you guys cut for one pumpkin to allow room for it to grow.

Ok maybe not a 1300 lber but a 1400lber for sure, Ha!

Thanks Guys,
Brooks

I personally use smaller pieces and add more as the pumpkin grows. Never had a problem doing it this way and it keeps you from having to carve out an XL square in your plant for the single big piece all at once.

Good luck,
