Why Pallets Are Perfect for Growing Watermelon.

By elevating the soil and vines, pallets offer better drainage and airflow. The structure naturally helps retain heat, giving watermelon roots the cozy warmth they adore.
And here’s the real bonus: keeping fruit off the ground helps prevent rot, pests, and misshapen melons. It’s a smarter setup, especially if you’re working with limited space or heavy, wet soil.

Single use plastic has always bothered me in the mycology. Some stuff is not avoidable and its just the nature if this. Microplastics and pollution is a big problem in our world. The fact that we throw stuff in the trash can and just burry sucks. Its a out of sight out of mind mentality. Ive worked in waste collection in the past and it is saddening all the waste we produceas humans. But im trying to do my part. Recycle, reuse, compost. But these small single use plastics have no place. I ran across these eco brick ideas and is what im doing going forward. If you are conscious about your waste here is an option for wrappers, agar plate tape, and so on. They can be donated as well to help build in places of need!
