Step 1: Choose the Right Varieties
Select compact or bush varieties of cantaloupe that are suitable for container growing. Examples include the Minnesota Midget and the Tasty Bites, known for their adaptability to smaller spaces.
Step 2: Select Appropriate Containers or Bags
Use large containers or grow bags that can hold at least 5 gallons of soil. Ensure they have sufficient drainage holes to avoid waterlogging the roots, which can lead to root rot.
Step 3: Prepare the Soil
Fill your container or grow bag with a well-draining potting mix, preferably enriched with organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure. Melons prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil, with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0.
Step 4: Planting the Seeds
Plant 2-3 seeds per container about 1 inch deep. Keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate, typically within 5 to 10 days, depending on the temperature and humidity.
