@Mangam, thanks for sharing. I live in Ibadan and I'll like to plant in my garden just for family consumption. I've read through your posts and you've answered most of my questions. However, I still have 1 or 2: How many seeds do I put in one planting hole? I have bought 3 large sized water melons and I'm planning to sun-dry the seed for 3 days like you said. You said it doesn't like too much water;can i still plant now despite the rain? I don't really know how to make ridges, my husband is a busy bee and my garden is too small to engage the service of a labourer. Do I need to make ridges or can I just dig and plant(land is fertle)? Can I just weed manually instead of using herbicide? Thanks. 2 Likes |

Weldone OP, I love this thread and i say kudos to you. In addition pls, those of you asking for where to get d seed, u can buy a big water melon, cut into two and keep it somewhere for 3-4 days to ferment, get the seed there, wash with water to separate the seed from d decayed rubbish and sun dry as directed by the OP DO NOT PLANT THE SEED THAT HAS MIXED WITH SALIVA, IT WILL NOT GROW. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

@op i am a newbie in farming watermelon. Got some seeds that i planted around 47 pieces in a small farmland. Planted mine on 31 august in Kano. I was told i need to spray pesticide due to flies that eat the leaves of of the melon. Is it true @Manga? |
