Although this is in the "Little House on the Prarie"
books, this is an Ole Wives Tale. It does not make any difference as far as the pumpkin growth is concerned. It does, though, attract bugs, cats, and anything else that is attracted to milk. It also stinks really awful when baking in the hot sun during the summer; from personal experience in 1983.
I also tried just sugar water during that year and it also does not work.
Pumpkin growers use chemical and natural(manure) fertilizers to promote growth on raising the pumpkins....Tom

I read that foliar milk spray 10-50% fights the powdery mildew.
I tried with sterilized skimmed milk. It didn't do anything against the PM. I read after it has to be natural unheated milk. I didn't try

The secret comes from the missing cow. It's a mix of one third bone meal, one third leather friz, and one third uncleaned natural cow hair. One cup full placed nine and three fifths of an inch deep around the stump at twelve, three, six and 9 oclock. It is best if placed anti clockwise because this disrupts the flow of gravity leaving a frazzled unsettled edge arouond the mother load. When watering be sure to move clockwise in nature's way. This picks up the goodies flying out of the nutrient mother loads that were placed against the will of nature.

You fellows on the other side of the equator simply reverse the instuctions.

In all instances do not pass human gas within the greenhouse while smoking. Burnt hair and bonemeal leaves a horrible odor not to mention smoking leather.

The elements of some human gas cause organic compounds to evolve into inorganic products thus fouling all attempts to grow organically.

I'm sure not all of you realized the importance of understanding all of the secrets hidden by some of the heavy hitters. Hopefully this will clear up all first ten day fertilizer management.
