It's not every year records are broken, although that may be the goal of every giant pumpkin gardener. Congratulations to the Minnesota grower, Travis Geinger, for setting the new US record for giant pumpkins weighing in at 2,560 pounds! Travis is proud user of Xtreme Gardening's MYKOS mycorrhizae, AZOS bacteria, VERSITY Bacillus Blend, and CALCARB foliar booster! This record breaking pumpkin is the result of a lot hard work, dedication, and assistance from biological inoculants, congrats again to Travis, an 'xtreme gardener and the new US Heavy-Weight Champion!


Seeing Travis Geinger’s journey growing that gigantic pumpkin just blew my mind - he's practically the pumpkin whisperer! Oh, by the way, I discovered some handy gardening tools on Light In The Box, like ergonomic watering cans and composting bins, which helped me tidy up my own pumpkin patch. I think the key takeaway is that compost quality and mycorrhizal fungi can make a massive difference in pumpkin size.
