If my bucket garden the zucchinis will all need separate buckets very soon as they really take off and need a lot of leaf room. Otherwise looking very good and growing well.

You're right about that! They DO need a lot of leaf room. The bin was the biggest container I had, so that's where they landed. ;~D I'm hoping I can direct them to the mulched area as they grow so they'll have room to spread. I'm hoping that will also help the zucchinis mature without danger of rot.
I have a feeling I'm going to be up to my armpits in squash...
I tried to post the Back to Eden you tube clip for you. I would take them out of the bucket and place them in the mulch you have there, they will love you for it. You have the perfect back to Eden set up there and I do no dig gardens as well.
I appreciate the tip. Maybe next year.
I just got done (well almost) clearing that whole area after many years of neglect. (Check out my 'Reclaiming the Backyard Firepit' series.) The thought of roots getting into my nice, fresh, newly laid mulch makes me want to cry.
This is where I started a month and a half ago:
Yes I totally understand, my garden gets like that as well at times, I found old carpet was great as a cover to place over large areas I couldn't get to in my last garden and when I did the soil underneath was amazing, then I planted Clivia's into it, it was a good size area. I don't spray so it is hand weeding otherwise haha.
Oooooh, I like the carpet idea! The other corner of the yard has twice this size area I need to clear. I don't spray either, because of the dog. (Wouldn't anyway.) I was wondering how we were going to tackle it & carpet is a brilliant solution!
You may have just launched my next mega-project... thank you!!
Pleased to help you.
