I tried milk last year - didn't help, I still lost everything. I also
noticed next to it in your remedies section a recipe for oil and soda, which
is what I used. I won't know for a week if it helps any. Part of the problem
is that I did not realize how large and invasive pumpkins would grow. The
vines are easily 20 feet long, and have crowded out much of my squash and
cucumbers. Very dense, and we don't get a lot of wind here. Plus, the only
way I have to water is overhead watering, which leaves everything nice and
wet

overhead watering is a bug bare with cucurburts they don't need their
foliage wet at all we only ever water around the root zone.

no need to let pumpkins ramble all over the garden you can keep
training them around and over the main root area.

if good breeze is a problem then you may need to look more at better
drainage grow them on high mounds.
