How to cultivate a watermelon called Grey Belle
Plant it where there is plenty of open areas because vines can grow up to 20 feet long.
Add organic stuff to the soil, such as compost or cow manure. A balanced fertilizer with a lot of nitrogen should be added.
8 to 10 watermelon seeds should be sown in a ridge, and they should be pushed 1 inch deep.
With at least 8 feet separating each row, place ridges 3 to 4 feet apart. Thin each ridge’s plants down to the top three.
Use mulch or shallow hoeing to keep the soil free of weeds.
It has somewhat deep roots, therefore watering is rarely required unless the weather is exceptionally dry for an extended length of time.
Side dress plants with a half cup of balanced fertilizer (5-10-5) when vines start to ramble. When melons are set, fertilizer should be applied a third time.
Withholding water as melons ripen will increase their flavor.
