David, CT =Connecticutt field and Atlantic Giant are two large breed pumpkins.
Many USAin gardeners use a bin built out of four pallets to contain compost (the decaying product of collected yard waste & kitchen scraps; google, Indore process).
it is very comon to supplimentally water the large pumpkin cultivars. I did less of that by placing my pumpkins at the base of a compost bin.
The watering needs of large breed pumpkin can exceed 50 gallons of water, per plant. If rain will collect in a compost bin, and I can use it to help feed my big pumpkins, good for me.
