Default Huge marrows

My neighbour and I are having a marrow growing contest. Any ideas as to what I can do in the next month to help the baby to grow. Its at 16 inches already but there's is bigger. I've tried tea bags and got some seaweed extract but any other tips???!!!

you could spray your neighbours with weed killer Failing that loads of dung. You should have dug a hole & filled it up with manure before you planted them but never mind, put it in a sack & soak it is waterbutt It 'll smell to high heaven but good dtuff. mix with water to about the same colour as tea & use as a liquid feed.

Welcome to the vine by the way.

Can I suggest that you cut your login name down as it will save you getting spammed.
