How to get large and juicy melons from your plot: secret "tricks" for growing them
There is probably no more desirable delicacy in the summer season than juicy and tasty melons.
If you want to get exactly these fruits, you should use a few tricks in the process of growing them.
As gardeners say “from experience”, the best soil for growing melons is sandy soil.
You should also closely monitor the appearance of the first leaves on the seedlings. As soon as you see that their number has reached four, pinch them - this will help stimulate the growth of the plant.
It is best to leave 6 fruits on the side shoots, while removing all the rest.
When the melon seedlings are moved (with your help, of course) to open ground, mulch them using grass.
This way you can kill two birds with one stone - you will not allow weeds to grow and you will keep the soil moist for much longer.
It is also worth mentioning the stepchildren - they should definitely be removed so that the melon has time to ripen within 60 days.
