This is a bit off topic, but you all are the best gardening resource I know
of and I trust your judgement. I was reading about planting cucurbits
(cucumbers, melons, squash, etc.) in hills, which I know is the traditional
method used since way back when. This book, however, said that "hill"
doesn't mean a raised mound of soil, it means planting in a CIRCLE. In
other words, at ground level. I've always mounded the soil (maybe that's
why I've not done well with curcurbits). How do you all plant these guys?
