Any thoughts on the use of Hydratain to increase moisture retention. I added some to my patch Wednesday.
Also I used a systemic called Messenger that says it can be used in the Vegetable garden. You have to reapply every 30 days, I had pretty good luck with it last year. Any thoughts on messenger??

I tried messenger before, but wasn't that impressed. I still have some left, and may give it a shot on one plant.

Hydratain is AWESOME! I'm glad to hear someone is trying it on pumpers.

Harpin hasn't gained a positive reputation on Pumpkins but its done well on other crops.

Might try aspirin?
