Squid Kids dad?
what has motivated you to come to this decision?
And Jenn melons from my experience love a really fertile soil
and my best sucess was with foliar feeding until the roots reached an under ground compost pile beneath the melon plant

I had a garden - peas - groundhog - cukes - grounhog - beans - another groundhog - squash - grounhog gettin fat - zuchini - groundhog getting fatter - tomatoes - %$%$%$%$ty groundhog. Wifes flower garden was huge before the groundhogs ate everything starting with sprouts to high phlox.
Dead groundhog! Two came to the burial, another huge dead groundhog, the final groundhog is dead in his holes, agway bombs, It took six to get him. The crop was a failure, but the freakin hogs were healthy til lead poisoning took over.
This was the fourth year with the same problem. next year -we go to the farmers market.

i'LL just shoot any ground hogs
Blam ! with a scope.... agway devices sound fun tho
i used to have to skip a twenty-two long rifle bullet on the ground
just before his hole for gophers because otherwise they friggan duck the bullet if you tried a head shot
..... so by skipping the shot on the dirt you'd get them in the head everytime.
One of my motivations is of course the price of food
..and wanting it ultimately fresh as in "cut ten minutes ago"... and i thoroughly enjoy
walking thru a grocery store seeing their prices that i don't have to pay.
