What is the best thing to put under your pumpkin before they gain to much

Dennis:
I use styrofoam sheets. These are easily obtained from Home Depot or Lowe's
and come in 4X8 ft. sheets. Easily cut to size, they make perfect pads for
growing AGs.
I use styrofoam meat trays from the supermarket on the young, freshly
pollinated females. Simply invert and place under the fruit to protect it
from the soil. I usually place these small trays on the ground before the
young fruit leans over to meet the soil.
No need to buy a large steak to get a meat tray, most markets will give you a
few for the asking.
