Good thinking - I have heard that regular applications of saltwater and glyphosphate helps them grow really big honest:nowink:

Seriously though - there is a site just dedicated to this http://howtogrowgiantpumpkins.blogspot.com/
where you should find a few tips.

Nettle tea, comfrey tea, and manure feed will all help  :)

My fellow allotmenteer has just made some Nettle and comfrey tea, boy dose that stink, so far he has made a 45 gallon drum and now on his second making in an old wheely bin.
All on the end of my allotment.
So far my pumpkin's are about the size of a golf ball and only fed them once.
