Introduction
Squash in bags is a practical and efficient method of producing abundant crops, even without a traditional garden. By using culture bags, it is possible to grow squash in a simple and accessible way for all, whether you have a small space on a balcony, terrace or patio.
Choice of Bag and Soil
To start, choose good quality crop bags with drainage holes at the bottom. Choose a blend of light, nutrient-rich soil to promote squash growth. Make sure the bag is placed in a sunny place to allow the plant to flourish.
Seed planting
Fill the bag with pot until about 5 cm from the top. Make a small hollow in the centre and plant one or two squash seeds. Lightly cover the soil seeds and water generously. Keep the soil moist but not wet throughout the growing period.
Maintenance and Care
Squash requires regular watering, especially during hot and dry periods. Fertilize the plant with a balanced fertilizer once a month to stimulate its growth. Be sure to guard the stems if necessary to support the weight of developing squash.
Harvesting of Curves
Depending on the variety of squash planted, the harvest can take place between 2 and 4 months after planting. Squash is ready to be harvested when it reaches its optimal size and its skin is hard. Use a sharp knife to cut the squash of the plant without damaging it.
