Check out my pumpkin patch
We have been raising pumpkins and gourds commercially for the past 7 years. This is our biggest planting so far, slightly over 7 acres. These rows stretched end to end would be over 3 miles long!

Dentist, Corvette Racer, and Pumpkin Farmer - I am impressed
. By comercial, do you mean for food production (canning), or for Halloween pumpkins sold to retailers? The view is outstanding - looks like you live in a pretty area of Kentucky.

BTW, nice place. Some of my in-laws are farmers. They keep us well stocked with produce.

Is this a commercial product? Where might I buy some? I did find that this is suitable only for "melon crops."
Is that like "Preen?" I'm looking for something for my veg garden.
