Re: Melon update-can we compare notes?

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

what does this mean - round tressil made of four in square wire mesh?

 I grew sugar baby melons this year on a round tressil made of four in
square
> wire mesh.  It is very sturdy wire and about 2 1/2 ft. in diameter. It
> occupies a 3x 3 ft space in a long bed.  I really added a lot to the soil 

I want to grow watermelon next season and have to do it vertically, so
I'm already thinking ahead and trying to figure out what kind of trellis
to use.  Anyone heard of Tomato Spirals or Garden Supply Co. Tomato
V-shaped trellises? You can grow all sorts of vining plants on those
(I've grown eggplant, tomatoes, beans, lima beans and cantaloupes on
them.) I wonder if they'd work for a small type watermelon.
