Support Your Melons on A Trellis! Here’s a Quick & Simple Way

[valeriehowden]

I re-use the mesh bags produce comes in. Just cut one end to get at the produce and keep the bag intact. Then use s-hooks to link the mesh bag to the trellis. No tying involved and keeps the mesh bags out of the landfill.

NEW MI GARDENER T SHIRT LOGO: SUPPORT YOUR MELONS

[MsBaruschka]

"You are beautiful melon and I believe in you..." I whisper to my cantaloupe in a bra for extra support. 😁

[suzannap]

The irony of a man telling me to support my melons. 😅

[tammibolender]

I showed my husband the title, we both giggled.

I've never commented on this channel before but I feel the need to do so now. I've been listening to you all summer (usually while gardening) and I've learned many, many things from you, your expertise, and your simple explanations.i live in Ohio, so your growing conditions are very similar to mine.
Just wanted to say thank you MIGardener! 💜🙏🏼

[bettymckinnon]

So happy you’re finally having success with your melons 🍈😆

I crocheted some mesh hammocks but haven’t had do use them yet.

[DogBeast]

As an old guy, I no longer concern myself with that. “Swing low, ...”

[ForgingFreedomTV]

You’re my favorite gardening geek. And I mean that with all the love in my heart

[waltk]

I make little hammocks out of old tee shirts for my cantaloupe ✌

[bettermetalsnake]

I used a bit of landscape fabric to make hammocks for my cantaloupes, not as stretchy as pantyhose but that's working out well too.

[AmericaNeedsWeed]

Use a face mask we all have them now lol

If you are supporting a Banana Melon then does that mean you have to use a Banana Hammock.

Luke, I was just looking at 3 nice cantaloupes on trellises and was wondering if and how I should support them! And, here you are with a video... Thank you, very much.

[MikeGreenOutdoors]

Gardening erotica... Luke is always innovating new methods. Well done!

Okay, I've definitely always saved my old nylons to use in the garden, but I never thought of using my worn out bras! Maybe I'll give that a try, too :)

[missmix]

I save and use the bags I buy my Onions in and use those with S hooks

[lawrencebeeles]

Cut nylons 8 in knot end slide over melon use tomatoe clip to hold up works real well

[myconfusedmerriment]

I'm growing cantaloupe for the first time as well! And I've been using nylons in the same exact way. We just harvested one today and I can't wait to dig into it.
