help w/cukes and zukes!

aimeruni · May 16, 2012

NOTE: Zukes/cukes are bush types w/short vines; also are more tolerant of confined spaces, closer planting etc.

When I tried to grow squash plants last time, I overcrowded them. I’m wondering what size container will be large enough for one squash plant.

Was thinking of using a 10 gallon container, it's just a plastic storage container w/holes drilled in the bottom for drainage; has a depth of about 14"-18". Will be translucent w/color to reduce heat build up.

Is this too small?
