personally I'd go with 200sqft.I keep blowing them to smithereens with 500sqft and i donot think they need to be heavily fertilized! Just my experience with fp

Agree with Donkin. I use around 200 to 300 sq ft.

150 or 200 for one on each plant.

Id be happy with 200sq feet. And they are much easier to grow in my opinion. However, field pumpkins have a lot harder time with powdery mildew than AGs in my yard.
