How does everyone take care of their stumps? Do you keep them high and dry? Do you prune? Do you use any captan? Do you shade? Best wishes everyone. Good luck this year!

I look at them once or twice a week. Nothing else yet.

Ned,include them in your spray program and once you have the whole plant deadheaded and a good sized pumpkin dust it once in awhile with dry caption or paint it with straight Daclinal.Hope this helped.John

Thanks John: My 1074 has run out of room and is dead headed. I will take you up on the dusting idea. Best wishes. Ned

I was taught to remove all leaves , backvines, etc from the stump area. Makes keeping an eye on things easier.

I buried my stump along with the vines as I was led to believe that was the way to go.

6 of one, half a dozen of the other Jim. Some folks want to watch & see the stump. Others bury it for protection. Seems burying it is safer unless one makes it a priority to inspect & treat the bugger. In which case the leaves have to go. - Steve
