Bushel gourd roots were huge and extended to the patch boundary. Because of this "full use" of the available rootzone, I think growing only one plant would be appropriate.

I still dont know why some of the small gourds exploded but the internal turgor obviously exceeded the cell strength/ growth rate. Excess nitrate/ potassium relative to the other minerals, perhaps.
