Default Plant Melon Seeds in Mounds?
(Fleemo) wrote in message . com...
I plan on growing melons this year, and have heard it's a good idea to
plant them in small mounds of dirt. I happen to water my garden with
a drip line, which is buried an inch or two beneath the soil surface.
This being the case, wouldn't planting the seeds in a mound prevent
the seeds from getting water?

The mounds warm quicker than the surrounding soil giving you a jump on
germination and growth.
Once they have a few leaves they will have roots enough to reach the
water.
