Hi Tracy, here is one more site that may help: https://plantvillage.psu.edu/topics/gourd/infos/
You can get thin gauze bags from amazon, large enough for your gourds, and place them around each one.
I make sure my gourds are not laying on the ground, I just place a small thick piece of wood under them so they rest on that. You can also use old panythose; stuff your gourd inside the hose.
