Vine That Needs Burying

This vine (recently pinched) needs to be buried to help with anchoring, improve rooting and protect it from potential squash vine borers (SVB). Typically, this length of vine (about 18”to 24”) takes about 3 days of growth at this point in the season.

If you wait too long the rooting will be slower and you do not gain some of the other benefits mentioned above.

If you do it every day, there is simply not enough vine length to allow for enough area to be present to bury effectively.
