Who's going to be the first volunteer to split their prize AG and then heal
the split with borax? :-) Steve M.

Let us be scientific here. I THINK this works (hypothesis). Let's test it
further. After that, let's test again.
It would be rather *&^%*$ funny however, if an old fur trapper trick worked
on stem rot!!!!

We have a pumpkin with a split that formed @ three weeks ago. We applied
Borax and Captan to the split. We applied a straight Borax paste every other
day for the last 10 days and have "interesting results". The fruit is
growing and the stem is "scabbed" and obviously conducting water. I am not
ready to conclude that the Borax is the direct or indirect solution to stem
rot. However, I feel that this treatment warrants further tests.
Observations are observations. I would like to see further data on this
matter. At this time, Borax has SEEMED to treat stem rot.
