OK, i am going to play mcguyver(sp) here. I have some granular 0-0-60, 11-52-0, a very antiquated watering system, a few plants and very limited cash. How should i apply with 31 d to weighoff. No info from soil or tissue tests. fruits are around 300#. Basically what i have been doing is using miracle gro and various fertilizers through my watering system which consists of strategically placed slow dripping gallon jugs. just looking for the best way to use what i have available.

It won't hurt the plant if it doesn't get on the leaves. Broadcast it or mix in a hose-end sprayer. Water it in. the 0-0-60 is best when the pumpkin is growing good.

its late in the season and the fruit is already on a down cycle. if you must feed a little then mix 1 and 1/2 lbs of each together, then broadcast the mix under plant and water in. no more than two to three pounds per plant. (250-500 sq ft = 2 lbs and 500 sq ft and up = 3 lbs)------- a little goes a long ways.
