looking to grow zucchini/squash outdoors. In my research, there has been nothing but end stops.

I want to use solar to power the pump, and I know there could be an issue with water temperature. I was looking at a half-A frame, 6-8 ft wide.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for resources?

If you're doing squash outside in Texas, go into it with a solid strategy for dealing with Squash Vine Borers. They are an issue from early March until November.

Also, it's not specifically cucubrits, but some research suggests that methylene blue could be helpful as the environment reached the limits of comfort. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14620316.2010.11512685

Agreed. That is the main reason I'm trying a new method. Raised beds were a bust for me.
