Soil Nutrient Requirements: t’s all about soil and seeds. Gourds do incredibly well in permaculture soil. We’ve grown 3.5 foot long bottle gourds in the Cancer Institute’s permaculture-raised beds. You can also use regular potting mix. Ensure the soil is loose, well-drained and well-mulched.

Sowing Method: Gourds and melons are sown directly. If you plan to start them in a different location, start them in containers that can be planted along with the sapling and will compost. Gourds don’t do well with transplanting. There are many DIY, recycled or store-bought seed trays that you can start the seed in. When the seeds sprout and the true leaves emerge, plant the contents directly into the ground. At the Cancer Institute, we’ve started gourds in bamboo baskets and they’ve done very well. Ensure there is enough space for the vine to run or climb.
