Clever Gardening Technique

Lifting Vine Crops
Protect vine crop fruits like melons and squash from snails and slugs by lifting the fruits or vegetables onto cans, berry baskets, or boards. Metal cans speed ripening and sweetening of melons by concentrating the sun's warmth and transferring it to the melons.
