tonight instead of circle drenching stump area because of saturated soil from yesterdays heavy downpours, i went heavy on neptunes seaweed and fish in a jet spray down low under the leaf canopy. i opened my pump sprayer nozzle to shoot a direct stream and basically circled every plant and shot neptunes back and forth under the leaves to cover the entire plants soil surface. by heavy i mean about 10-15 tablespoons for a 2 and a half gallon tank and sprayed at least 1.5 gallons of this mix per plant only under the leaf canopy. then i went to a light mix of 1 tablespoon per gallon of neptunes and 2 tablespoons per gallon calcium and sprayed the topside of all leaves. i will continue the light mix on top of the leaves every 3 days and do circle drenches around the stump area with neptunes every week and a heavy jet stream of neptunes under the leaf canopy once a week also. basically i will alternate a circle drench and a jet stream soil covering every 3 or 4 days. tonight seeing that it is going down to 54 degrees, i blanketed the pumpkins to help keep the internal temps up a bit. funny how 3 days ago it was 104 and tonight it will be 54 making a 50 degree swing in temps. go figure.
