I am finding that ash guard is an easy crop, if it is grown at the beginning of rainy season, it just grows well and you should make sure that it has some place to climb and there is enough sunlight.
I usually grow it at home and with a single string it climbs all the way to terrace and spreads there and produces enough fruits. This time did same thing at the farm, allowed it to climb on a tamarind tree and it produced 4 fruits so far, photos coming up soon.
