You can't burn any plant with 2-7-4 unless you apply it abusively. But even organic fertilizers can harm plants when used inappropriately.

Does that makes it ideal for pumpkins? No. It is low in nitrogen for pumpkins. Normally they need a nitrogen rating of at least 5 or more. It is high in phosphorus for many plants although pumpkins do appreciate extra phos. Not that it will hurt other vegetables but it is just wasted phosphorus which can run off and contaminate any near by sources of water. Pumpkin recommendation unless trying to grow giants is 5-10-5.

Does that mean you "can I just toss it willy nilly around the vines/roots as it's organic?" No. You side dress the individual plants per the label instruction amounts but you may need to feed it more frequently. In other words you increase the frequency, not the amount used at one time..

I can't find a copy of the instruction label to read anywhere so you'll have to check yours.

A funny story. last year I grew one pumpkin plant in a 5 gallon bucket and thought I was doing a pretty good job. Until I took a trip to the local dump and saw a HUGE volunteer dark green pumpkin plant with huge green pumpkins on it, growing out of the yard waste/compost pile :-/ I was obviously under fertilizing my plant. Not that it would have ever gotten that big, but my main thought was 'definitely not enough nitrogen on my plant.'
