does it necessary to make ridges for water melon planting
Re: A Thread For Growing Watermelon In your backyard With Photos by MANGAM(m): 8:27pm On Sep 16, 2014
It all depends on where u are in Nigeria. In northern Nigeria, ridges are required for every crop cultivation because of the nature of rainfall and soil type

@ op dont you think the herbicide u used is not effective enough, or your method of application is wrong. the weeds are not supposed to show face at all by now!
Re: A Thread For Growing Watermelon In your backyard With Photos by MANGAM(m): 4:45am On Sep 19, 2014
The herbicide was very effective and the reason for early weeds is because the land was left for a very long time without cultivating it which really enhance the soil fertility.

i guess a beta way of tackling weed is to alow the weed grow first,den yu spray herbicide b4 planting,so as the weeds r dying the water melom is growing-wat do yu fink?

Good question

Re: A Thread For Growing Watermelon In your backyard With Photos by MANGAM(m): 7:09pm On Sep 19, 2014
It all depends on how fertile ur soil is, places where the soil fertility is poor u need to apply little NPK to the melon to enhance the size of ur melon balls
