I know we have discussed before what is good to put under a pumpkin to help with rotting. I have heard that styrofoam or sand under the fruit is good. This weekend came and I didn't have either styrofoam or sand to get under the pumpkin before it got too big. So I used a piece of indoor-outdoor carpeting (rubber backed). Is this a dumb idea or is there a chance that it will do the job?? Thanks AnnaMarie ahadeam@misonline.com
