    I spread a bunch of wood chips around the pumpkin mounds to minimize weeds. I had a couple of loads dumped by a company that has a contract with a nearby city to keep the power lines clear. Some towns and cities allow for folks to get wood chips for free. Some arborists will dump for free, others will charge a little to cover their gas and time to get to your house.
