There's no wrong way to apply the kelp meal from my own experience and from what I hear from other growers, as long as you don't add a crazy amount like a half inch over the entire patch maybe. I would throw it everywhere and work it in a tiny bit far enough from the plant not to affect the roots.
One concern you might consider is not to add fertilizer until you have a pumpkin set if that is just about to happen. Best regards and I hope anyone will chime in if there are differences of opinion. I love kelp! It adds all the micronutrients and when it absorbs water it expands greatly in size and really improves the soil texture.
