Cucumber in a big pot? [View all]

Will this work? I had 2 cukes on hills in the garden. They got about 4" then just fell over and died. I watered every day. My peas and beans in the same area are doing fine.

So, I was thinking of planting one in a pot with 8" of garden soil and potting mixture. Anyone ever try this?

Thanks for suggestions.
