In this video, I show how to fertilize a watermelon plot after the growing season. This is done to replenish the nutrients that the plant took out the previous season. If the nutrients are not replaced, it will be hard to grow another large plant there. The fertilizers used are all organic, which will benefit the health of the plant and soil. They will not burn the plants, which could kill them and the soil microbes. Having healthy soil will encourage a healthy plant. The fertilizers used are as follows: rabbit manure, alfalfa pellets, tomato tone, tomato & veg, leaf mold, and mushroom compost. The alfalfa pellets have a natural growth hormone that is going to help the plant grow. This is going to help me grow some nice-sized watermelons.
You’re essentially building a compost pile on the surface. Manure, alfalfa, wood chips and leaf mold should develop into a nice, fungal-infused compost. Good luck on getting that huge watermelon this year!
HEY Curtis, you are right on point. It will be like building a compost pile! Thanks for the support.
Awesome…thanks for sharing…
Salute!🍃🍃😎
I appreciate it.
I'm excited....... Hugs from Texas
Love the rain barrels. Everyone should have some
Thanks, I'm glad I decided to make that system.
Hey Bear, you can do it. I think you can, I think you can. You are putting good stuff in the soil. I hope you won't be disappointed with 99 pounds. Have an awesome night
JEY Cheryl!!! You are too kind! Thanks for the encouragement. I'll take a 99 pounder for sure.
💯
Happy growing! I have never been successful with watermelon and it's my favorite.
You can do it! I was like to, but I kept at it. It took me 4 or 5 years b4 I got my first melon
Yes 100lbs loading!!!
Just found your channel today and went through tons of your shorts and videos so I subscribed. Hope you can get it to 100 pounds, good luck!
Thank you so much for subscribing and for your well wishes for the watermelon!
@GrowSomethingTasty Absolutely!
This is my first year using rabbit manure. I have high hopes for this spring and summer. All I have left to do is stealing folks bags of leaves for mulch.
Yes, it should do great. Oh Yeah, get those leaves.

They belt is staying in Texas playa lol good video though 🤪
You are right. It's staying in Texas until I decided to TAKE IT! Thanks, I appreciate it.

what usda growing zone do you have?
8a
@@GrowSomethingTasty do you have any suggestions for a colder climate like 6b?
My greens in the baby pool I had 🍉 in. I'll have to get another one asap. I think because I didn't thin them out they were all very small I want some juicy juicy ones😂 this year

Will that 100lbs watermelon be edible? I recently came across some seeds that said it has the potential to get up to 220lbs but the label said it's not suitable for consumption cos it's very fibrous.
Most people use them for competitions. I don't know. I have not grown one that size yet. I know if it goes past harvest time, I would not try eating it.
