This one is awesome, I will try to add more high quality fertilizer to my veggies too this year. Note, in order to get Melons this size from these plants grown in containers you have to remove all flower buds except one or two. Because otherwise there are not enough leaves to support multiple melons per plant. They did not show that in this video. I have never thought about using old water bottles to make compost and place it right in the pot, ingenious.
Thank you! I intended on planting them in a bed again this year, like last, but my melons only grew to the size of a large grapefruit, and were white inside, obviously growth was stunted. I think I thought they were done because they were of the mini variety. Can you offer any advise?
If you put some worms in the container they will go in and out of the holes in the bottle to feed on the scraps. If you look up "worm tower" you will see how to take this to the next level!
I experimented with some container watermelons last year that grew vertically on a cattle fence and those plants aborted its own babies so to divert all their energy to producing one good fruit.
Porque es falsa.🙄 Una sandía necesita más espacio para crecer que lo que muestra el vídeo. Cuando aprendes a cultivar te das cuenta, de que la mayoría de estos vídeos son falsos, y solo buscan los me gustas. Si yo te muestro como plantar tomates de una forma normal no verás el vídeo, pero si te hago creer que los puedes tener en botellas colgantes en un espacio muy pequeño, y con mucha producción, pues ese vídeo te atraerá. Saludos.
I did this using a trellis and cheesecloth “hammocks” a few years ago. Worked amazingly well, beautiful ripe melons easy see, monitor progress, and pick and not one bit of discoloration or rot from ground contact!
Hi Brandon I think I like the way u grew your melons. And watching this video here gave me inspiration. But I'm definitely going to try it your way. Hey next time u decide to grow, please video it for people like me, trying new, different and better ways of doing things 🍉😉🍉
@D M To be more specific, my mother, a prolific lifelong gardener posed the same question. After seeing and sampling the results she now grows melons the same way, in hammocks or otherwise elevated.
It is really true that growing such plants while having the fruits placed higher up is superior. I have grown pumpkins and melons the traditional way where the plants vine on the ground. What happens is this: pumpkins: they go flat on one side, often collect mold on the side that lays on the ground. Melons are so sweet, if you let them rest on the ground you can bet on the fact that mice, voles, and other critters that travel low to the ground can snack on those too. Because I have witnessed this. The animals sure know what is tasty in your garden too, :-)
Plants are beautiful! Bat Guano is high in Nitrogen and and a little lower in phosphate and relatively low in potassium. Its NPK runs close to 5-3-1. It's the heat that brings out the sweetness along with the plants genetics.
So u think the bat soil isnt why it got its sweetness from but rather tge heat? As in the weather it was grown in??? Do they grow ok in direct sun or shaded area? With all the ground leaf coverings it produces id think shaded area best?????
Excelente trabajo agrícola!! Muy exitosa cosecha!! Felicitaciones!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Me gustaría me enseñara de dónde colgò y cómo, las cestas? Y por qué puso otro cubo rojo debajo de los primeros azules donde sembró?? También veo otras manguero tan negras. No fueron suficientes padres primeras blancas que colocaste para el riego por goteo?. Cuéntame, por favor, que voy a intentar sembrar sandías con tus enseñanzas. Gracias y saluditos desde Venezuela!!
Exquisita plantación de sandia todo un lujo y sobre todo haberla cosechado en tu huerto naturalmente ,esta satisfacción no tiene precio, felicitaciones
Me encanta percibir los sentimienros de está persona a traves del amor a sus plántitas, cómo las cuida y disfruta acariciar a los retoños. Mucho cariño. Realmente lindo e inspirador. Mil gracias. Trataré de hacer algo similar.
Muito obrigado pela ajuda que eu todos os anos compro nos hortos pés de melancia e nunca consegui gerar uma Então agora vou tentar este ano este sistema Bom fim de semana e mais uma vez obrigado
I learned a trick where you invert a styrofoam cup half way full and it waters the plant roots by collecting the water evaporating and also saves you soil by the cup size used.
Buen video, sin embargo faltan explicaciones indispensables como: tiempo de maduración, se puede sembrar en patio de casa tipo invernadero que está a 3.000 msnm?, el abono qué contiene, etc.
Thanks for sharing I just happened to be scrolling and came upon this video, wow that watermelon looks juicy and sweet hopefully some day I will try this 👌
Lo que haría por hacer eso en casa por la sandía!! Que hermoso trabajo. De echo a veces salen guachas por qué tiramos la semilla pero al no recibí r agua terminan secándose.. felicitaciones!!!!
But, what did you hang them from? What were the baskets tied to? And, what about all the other blossoms? Did you choose which ones to keep and cut the others off?
I wondered about where or what he hung baskets from as well. Someone else answered how he breifly showed knocking off all other flower blossums for container fruit. As to advert all power into 1 fruit not many. So only keep 1 or 2 flowers on..
Спасибо большое за обзор 🍉. Я тоже выращивала 2 года назад арбузы в теплице. Но у меня сорт был другой, не помню название, они были меньше и темно зеленая окраска без полос. Надо также попробовать на улице посадить...Северный Казахстан.
