Had a hard time not growing a giant melon this year so I decided to modify my hydroponic growing system. I'm still soilless but not watering with a timer. Pool is only 38 inches across and about 8 deep. Drilled several holes in the bottom for drainage. It will be just inside the end of a greenhouse to protect from heavy rains with plants growing out the door. Plan is to staple down a tarp with bird netting on top to eliminate weeds and give vines something to grab to. No vine rooting could limit melon growth. Goal is 200 pounds. If I can reach this a larger pool could be in the future. Doing 2 setups with 1 each of the 169 Cantrell 13 (157 Bright x self) and 272.5 Neptune 14 (291 Kent x 316 Edwards).
