- Plant in a well-drained soil with a moderate organic content.
- Add compost to soils light in fertility.
- Keeping soil moisture even produces higher quality melons.
- Mulching with straw or like material helps keep soil moisture consistent.
- Avoid picking melons after a heavy rain or irrigation, as the melon flavor will have a
higher water content and taste diluted.
- Watch for mid-late blights and fungal conditions.
- In areas where the squash vine borer is a nuisance we recommend treating plants with
beneficial nematodes.
