squash on compost heaps

[Ros]

I find this a problem – I always want to use the compost before the squash is ready – I have has success though by planting one on leaf mould pile – just made a hole put in a couple of spades worth of manure or compost, planted the squash and then covered the compost with leaves. Somehow it is later than with compost that I wasnt to use the contents of the heap!
