[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 2476352, member: 69"] I've tossed this idea around for awhile but still never tried it. Do you think it would work? On plants like watermelons, squash, cantalope, cucumbers, etc.(plants that take up alot of ground space in a garden) why couldn't you run posts and wire or fencing along the row and train the vines to climb up the fencing instead of covering so much ground space. Wherever you have a fruit on the heavier plants (watermelons or cantalopes) put in a stake with some type of platform on it and let the fruit grow while resting on it. You're forcing vertical growth instead of horizontal. [/QUOTE]
