This is my second year of growing Jack o Lantern. I have an old carpet on top of my compost bin that is still maturing. I start a pumpkin seed indoors in a large pot with holes in the bottom. Once the frost has passed I sink the pot through the hole in the carpet with the rim just above the carpet. The compost provides warmth, nutrients, and moisture for the whole season. Only very occasionally do I have to water it. The carpet keeps the fruit off the soil.
