Pappy Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I have built two identical trellises. One is at my mothers and the other is at my home. They are built exactly alike. They even have the same soil and fertilizer in it. Take a look at the difference You can see how the watermelon is doing with lots of sun versus the other one where the trees shade it a lot. The one has full sun all day long. also the trellis with the sun the plant are completely to the top now( i dont have a pic from today but it is completely covered) where as the other one well just barelky up the side. There is watermelon and cukes and cantaloupe on it but just as large as the one with full sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Now for the watermelon and Cantaloupe I supported them with a simple little trick. I used panty hose. I just cut them and then just tied them onto the trellis. The will stretch with melons as they grow. Simple and cheap little trick for supporting your produce.
