My humble opinion, Compost it. Mix with all the other stuff. Wait 6 months
or more unless you have one of those turnstyle type composters. Will be
good stuff for everything.

Has anyone used Montys Joy juice before? I am looking for options on high
potasium fertilizers. Any suggestions out there?
Thanks for the help!
One other Q, We have a duck farm nearby. The manure is convienient and
local. However, it does contain a good deal of sawdust. Can I compost with
it or will the sawdust affect the availability of any nutrients?

Debbie,
Yes, you can put them on together as well as the sevin and garlic.
Triazicide would be a better choice than Sevin though and doesn't kill the
bees like Sevin. It is effective against vine borers et al. It is lambda
cyhalothrin and the same active ingredient as Scimitar and Warrior T. It can
be purchased at Lowe's, Walmart almost anywhere that insecticides are sold.
Yes you can spray at night, I usually do before sundown but have after
sundown. As for protecting the pumpkin from dampness throw an old bedsheet
or tablecloth over the fruit and old blankets or towels when the temps get
below 60.
I don't use shade other than the sheet and leave it on, white keeps it cool
enough and reflects the sun. On cool days in Sept. etc. I take the sheet off
and expose the fruit to the sun to keep it warmer and growing. Don
