| You will also see this same posting on the professional gardener forum because I must have clicked on it by mistake, lol! But anyway, my question is would the Jobes 2-7-4 fertilizer spikes be a good all season fertilizer to use? I also have a 5-1-1 fish emulsion, the vegetables alive fertilizer (cant remember the ratio) and the miracle-gro 24-8-16 water soluable as other options. The pumpkins will be used mainly for Halloween. |

| using a 5-1-1 fish emulsion should be fine every three or four weeks. i have never used the spikes before. since the spikes are low enough does not seem it will cause nutrient burn. your choice but i would try one hill with spikes and one without. one hill i would use the spikes in combination with the fish emulsion and the other hill i would use straight fish emulsion. start a third as an experiment and see what happens. my personal opinion. take it how you want. |

| 1) send kids to catch 15 small bass. 2) beg wife to use blender 3) have a small party with beer and bbq 4) OUTSIDE let the boys grind the fish up in the blender until they are a nice puree. 5) Bet friend a 12 pack that you will take a sip of it and win by faking a sip. (great entertainment for adolescent boys) 6) store in used milk jugs. 7) add one cup to 5 gallons of water and pour directly on the pumpkin vines where they are coming out of the ground. 8) Enjoy GREAT pumpkins! |
