May be a stupid question but I see everyone talking about growing on mill fabric but every search I have tried shows up nothing except clothing stores. What is it and where can it be purchased?

Look in "Equipment for Sale" on the message board. I got some last year from a guy Dan. I forget his last name.

Bma113, here is a link for mill fabric. Mill fabric is basically a woven material that can withstand the weather and give a smooth surface for a pumpkin/squash to grow on.

Ha, back in 2011 I was at all the local stores asking about mill fabric and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. They were right, but as Dan said check equipment for sale section. Once you get it, it lasts for years.

mill fabric is nylon monofilament conveyor belt used in paper mills slippery lets wet pulp slide off and water go thru

Ha!!! You only hurt my feelings a little bit. Hopefully I can make my first season a success by continuing to ask stupid questions!!! There is so much info out there that for someone new it gets a little overwhelming. I have been planning my first attempt for the last 2 yrs. I didn't want to jump in the pond with out at least knowing how to tread water!!!
