Melons in grow bags?

celestina · December 29, 2007

Just curious if anyone has tried melons in grow bags? How did they work out? What size bag should I use? Also--has anyone tried large melons in earthboxes?

I have never used GrowBags so I cannot comment but this past summer, I planted melons-Cantaloupe and Honeydew's in Earthboxes and they did very well. I think I put 4 plants in each box. The melons ended up being on the small side compared to the ones planted in ground but they tasted the same. YUMMY

The Earthbox site has the recommended planting guide for many vegetables. It is 4 plants per box for melons.
