A collaborator in Canada has been planting watermelon transplants into ground covered with plastic, then he puts a tomato cage over the plant, then he puts a big cone of plastic over them. He says they thrive that way... When the plant gets big enough to crowd the tent, he cuts slits for the vines to escape. Good idea, is he using black plastic on the ground for a start?. but to me having to cut slits for the vines to escape seems like a waste of plastic, could he not lift the whole lot off? Well I thought about using the black plastic because it would throw off a lot of heat, then again white plastic might reflect sun onto the plants well. I'll message you Joseph. |

The black would be ok for early growing season, but i know if i were to use it here it would throw off far to much heat.
