How Do I Grow A Giant Pumpkin?!?!?

[ryanguevara1983]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to grow a giant pumpkin this year.

The seed is Dill's Atlantic Giant which I sowed a few months back.

My main plant is looking good, I've actually pruned it so that it has one strong pumpkin, which is already a reasonable size.

I've heard a few things about how to grow a big one but wondered if you have any tips? One neighbour even says I should pee on it!! Any thoughts?

Hello, You might want to pee in the watering can rather than direct-less strong for plant roots and more subtle, unless you have just the one understanding neighbour. I have heard beer slops from the pub is good but i think comfrey tea is the best food. The secret is to dig a big hole at the beginning and fill it with compost muck and straw cover with topsoil and plant on that.
