I've read some people put mill fabric under the pumpkin. Googling the term, I don't see a precise explanation of what it's made of. I also don't see it at Home Depot or Lowes. Is it different than just a regular burlap roll?

If you can get your hands on it, you can grow on it for forever and nothing will get through it. It is very strong stuff.

Look around in equip for sale, not sure how the sellers attain it, but I bought it. Mine was unused.

Mine is fine woven plastic so it does not rot and is waterproof

Monofilament, so probably nylon?
