I know you can get bush squash but I can see others are trailing ones that usually climb...how can you tell a squashes suitability as a ground trailer?

Celebration is a bush, the others are vines. Don't know about growing them under a cloche. Might you not have problems with mildew in the enclosed space?

Also, last year I made the mistake of growing the bush ones in with the vine types, and they got overrun

This is to stop them being munched by horse leaning over fence ( they keep horses next to us and they limbo  ovr/under electric fence...so can neck over and munch :) Will be keeping either end open during day.

Red kuri are lovely. We have grown them on the ground. Very productive.
