    You can train the main runner in a spiral and then cut it off when you run out of space - but try and keep them as long as you can. I just let them run in a straight line and let the side shoots do what they wanted. It is like a horizontal version of growing tomatoes. Only allow it to grow as much as you want. With those four plants I got nearly 100lbs of squash! :eek:
