This year I am thinking of growing a melon patch in my backyard for my kiddos. I want to cover the beds with black fabric first then cut holes and plant. I would like to set up a dri[p irrigation system for my vines but I have a few questions. Number one what type of emitter should I use? I was thinking of using the 1 or 2 gallon per hour drip buttons. How many emitters should I use per vine? How long should I run a cycle? Is there another method I should consider? Anxious to hear from you melon experts!
