OK, we know how to get it out of the patch, but what kind of cushion under
the pumpkin do you all use to keep it from splitting? We took one about 4

Kate,
Use soft foam rubber apx 6 inches thick. If the foam rubber is high
density , or rigid, it will offer no cushioning. I used to work in a foam
packaging lab and will be doing an article on this in the Fall NEPGA
newsletter.
