We took some soil samples and sent them off to A&L Labs for Analysis. I headed back to Minneapolis and Jeff and I began doing heavy research on foaming stump. In addition we ordered up for fertilizer and soil amendments. We began talking to a number of people and scouring through the bigpumpkin.com forums looking for information or preventing foaming stump. There is quite a bit of information, theories, and advice out there. We decided to take a blanket approach. Increase drainage, keep vines growing, add some fungicides (rootshield) in our planting areas and along the vines, reduce the watering, reduce root competition around the stump, apply fungicide to the stump, and keep the stump drier.
