Not sure, but I think that it’s a disease that stays in the soil. The vines do really well, and then one day droop, growth stops and in less than a week the vine is dead.

We sometimes manage to get some zukes and cukes planted in potting soil/mix but the squash bugs are hard to deal with and eventually cause plant failure too.

Sounds like something's eating the roots out from under them.
