The Facts on Milk Fed Pumpkins
Milk is loaded with vitamins and minerals.

Plants, including pumpkin plants, need a wide variety of minerals (micro-nutrients) to grow both plant and fruit.

Among those minerals, milk is rich in calcium.

Calcium is essential in helping all plants to take up other needed nutrients.

Calcium and other minerals need to be in soluble(liquid form), for plants to take them up in its roots.

Calcium and other minerals in milk is in a soluble/liquid form, and is readily used by the plants.

So, some amount of milk, as a fertilizer, can actually do your plants good.

However, like any fertilizer, too much of a good thing is harmful to your plants.

Feed too much milk to your plants, and you have a rotting, stinking mess, with no additional benefit to the plant..


The Big Myth:
Injecting milk into the stem through
A syringe,
A straw, or
Wick does not add significant weight (if any at all) to a pumpkin fruit.

It only risks injury to the vine, and offers an entry point for plant diseases and insects.

For those who also have heard of injecting sugar water, this only serves to increase the number of insects around your plants, some of which may be harmful.

Liquid fertilizers (like
Miracle-Grow,
Fish fertilizer,
Seaweed fertilizer and
Compost or manure teas) contain calcium and a wide range of micro-nutrients.

They are great for plant growth and health.
