Thanks porkchop, yes I'm trying to. I'm using cut up pieces of cardboard slightly bigger than a coaster at 6 root locations surrounding the pumpkin. Currently about 6" elevated off ground in those locations. I noticed once I elevated side vines they split the long way during storms right near where I elevated so ill need a better plan in future perhaps :-/

After a quick search to define that word I get it lol. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. I feed it every damn day, all organic stuff tho. I have well water as well as the whole neighborhood so I don't want to be "that guy" adding chemicals to ground. I use "a lot" of good fungi and bacteria foliar treatments and a lot of my homemade seaweed compost tea. In my mind, if I saturate environment with good stuff there aint no room for the bad.

A movie I had already intended to watch since Wednesday had a main character with a bulbous head and a black strap around it for some contraption on top of it and I was like 'What are the chances?' 'Head of the Family'; It was an OK movie, butt I'm debating keeping it - it was pretty weird, lol, with not *quite* enough humor. eg
