1. What soil and sunlight conditions are ideal for growing gourds and squashes?

• These plants require 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily and prefer loose, well-draining soil rich in organic matter such as compost or aged manure. Soil pH should ideally range between 6.0 and 7.5.

1. How deep should the seeds be sown and how much spacing should be maintained?

• Sow seeds 2 to 3 centimeters deep. Plant 2 to 3 seeds per mound and thin the seedlings to leave the strongest one. Maintain spacing of 1 to 1.5 meters between plants and 1.5 to 2.5 meters between rows to allow ample room for vine growth.

1. Can gourds and squash be grown in containers or grow bags?

• Yes, smaller bush types like zucchini and tinda can grow well in 20-30 liter grow bags. Vining plants like bottle gourd, ridge gourd, and bitter gourd need bigger containers. Use containers that hold 35 to 50 liters. They also need a strong trellis for support.

1. How to ensure better fruit set and protect against pests?
