            | Louisiana Bigg Dogg | Franklinton ,La. | GL-1 for me.Could potentially have (4) melons over 200 #'s this year. For me that's a great accomplishment. All (4) were grown on the GL-1 rootstock with the axe blade grafting method as I refer to it.No stump issue's but I did the sand and pea gravel filtration/drainage on all plants and a lot of preventative measures for stump rot. | 8/21/2018 11:52:34 AM | 
		
            | big moon | Bethlehem CT | I may give the Atlantic Giant rootstock a trial. I would like to see if I can get one to grow through the whole season. | 8/21/2018 6:31:27 PM |
