Question: Melon Protection
I'm looking for ideas of how to protect my watermelons (and squash, etc.)
from ground pests like sowbugs, rabbits, etc. I am going to make some chicken wire cages to keep rabbits away, but I need to suspend the melons off the ground to discourage bugs and rot.. I'm looking for suggestions on any devices or methods to keep those melons from direct contact with the ground. Bob 512-295-9571 |

Question: Melon Protection
When I grew them I would use panty hose knee high stockings. They stretch out
enough to fit one melon in each and I'd have a trellis made of bamboo, or something which I could make a t-p with...some trellis material from Home Depot...like that. Attach the panty hose with the melon in it to the trellis with nails.
