we don't have that sandy soil that you have, so we had to fill it with the garden soil mixed with old straw to keep it even lighter. We've tried making one of our b3eds more sandy and that didn't work out so this is plan B. It hold the moisture without making it too soggy.
If you do want to give the bales a try I can give you the guy's info where we got our last year, he's just in N Ogden. You'll need to get your bales in late summer or you wont have any start the conditioning of them 2 weeks prior to planting in them. (I can also give you the conditioning schedule to follow) We store ours in detached garage but you can also store them outside in one of your boxes you'll just need to tarp them to keep them dry over winter - our son did this up in cache valley and it worked as well.
The squash, I picked up starter plant from Valley Nursery.
