If I'm correct that would be 89 gallons of water per day per 1000 sq.
ft. plot, I have 4 Plots that size so that would be around 356 gallons per
day, that's a lot of water, I haven't been using half that amount and my
pumpkins are still averaging 4-5" in growth per day and my area just went
through a 4 1/2 week period with 0" rainfall, Largest pumpkin to date is
76-57-54 OTT around 150 pounds, just my observation, but it will have to do
because I just don't have that much water available. (Elkskin)

Actually I think you are right.... .623 sound right! I think I remember a
little over a half gallon per square foot. >>
