Seeds:

The seeds should be big and well-nourished. Sometimes, seeds may get damaged in the sun, so be prepared for planting.

Collection Spot / Bags:

Bottle gourd plants grow very long, so bags and containers are very important for cultivating plants. Choose cement bags and make them suitable for filling with soil. Fill the bags with 20 to 25 kg of soil, then sow the healthy seeds.

Soil:

I took 20 to 25 kg of sandy soil and mixed it well with dung manure. Soil testing before planting is a very important step. If the soil isn’t ready for planting bottle gourd, then the plants will be weak. Start by clearing the planting area of any weeds, rocks, or debris that may hinder plant growth. For best results of soil testing, add some fertilizer. Ensure that the soil is evenly distributed and leveled for planting. Smooth out any bumps or uneven areas to create a uniform planting surface.

Location:

I chose the location for cultivating bottle gourd vegetables on the roof of the house where it receives 7 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. The house roof is the best place for planting bottle gourd vegetables as it protects them from domestic animals and other pests.
