Re: Lessons Learned
Bob, I used a commercial product called "Dual" obtained from a farmer friend
of mine. I don't believe it is cleared for use on pumpkins but did not appear
to have had any adverse effects on my patch. It did an outstanding job of
keeping virtually all growth out until the last 2 weeks or so, and then the
weeds are primarily around the perimeter. You lightly till it in as soon as
the garden is plowed and hope it rains right away or if not, you are advised
to water it as soon as possible to allow it to leech into the soil. It's a
little on the expensive side, but a 1/2 pint will cover an area about 120 x
80 +/- . Don't take my application rates as gospel, but they are close. I
imagine there are many others out there, but this is the one I used.
