               How much water a day does each plant get, also how often do you feed it fish emulsion or seaweed,,do you favor seeweed/kelp over fish emulsion.

               Also, do you wait for a pumpkin to start growing before youo start using the fish emulsion or seaweed/kelp.

               What I did last year with success is followed the directions as far as mixing and used one each day:    Neptunes Seaweed (concentrate)    Alaska Fish (Concentrate, ran out of Neptunes)    Agro-K calcium and Agro-K micronutrients Slow and steady starting once the plants were settled which is around Memorial Day.  I also started in August adding a little 0-0-50 soluable to make sure I had enough K. I used a Miracle Grow feeder which is tuned at 4 oz per gal.

               I was thinking about neptunes, Joe Jutras & Don Young both used neptunes last year, maybe this stuff is better.

               Hot - dry weather on sandy soil might need up to 150 gals per day. Cool damp weather on clay might not need water for days on end. You need to grab a handful from a few inches down to know for sure.
  Fish??? 1-2 oz per gallon twice a week is nice.
