We’re in the “funny 30 days” now when the pumpkins will be growing at their fastest and it can go Pete Tong at any moment.
To try and elevate this we set up the automatic watering which has been difficult but the end result is well worth it.
So in the photos peruse your eyes over this scrappy bit of paper.
In this period of pumpkin growth last year we were giving each plant a 50 gallon drum of water 3 times a day.
If you look at the picture,on the bottom line,we are giving in gallons these figures. (The line above is litres)
Now this does vary but this is because in some of the patches the drip tubes are shorter.
So on the old system we would have been giving more water per Meter squared on the small drip tube patches.
All of this also has the advantage of watering 5 times a day.
So, fairly confusing but it’s what we do.
