Re: Weed Killer.....
Broad Leaf Weed Killers containing 2-4-D are extremely toxic to Pumpkins.
The slightest drift will kill them or if the temperature goes above 80
degrees. When the temperature reaches the 80's it vaporizes and creates a
toxic cloud that can travel for great distances. Round Up or Final are
better choices but you still have to be cautious of drift.
