Default Courgette advice

Hi All

I have grown a few courgette plants and they look very leggy. I have
potted them up and planted them slightly deeper in the pot... Some people
have said that doing this will make the stem root. Do I need to go and dig
them up again???

And that's a bad thing?

No, I do that with leggy tomatoes as well and they seem to thrive.
Also they are less prone to being damaged by winds in their early
stages.
