RE: The many ways we are growing muskmelons. Vertically...horizontally and x y z axis!

in #gardening6 years ago

great question!!!! if they look like they're gonna break....i learned in the book i shared above: "greenhouse gardening companion"....to use nylon stockings lol. pantyhose...to put them inside...and then tie up the pantyhose to the vertical structure. it works well! it's novel...and fun! extremely functional too....if you have a hot east or west... facing greenhouse wall like we do. the sun can cook our greenhouse plants around here...without proper shade and transpiration.

Sort:  

That is a great solution. I even get cucumbers so large they will break I bet I could do this with. You just changed my whole gardening to vertical. I have to run shade cloths in my whole greenhouse or it will cook everything.
