High I have grown water mellon on the North West Coast of Tasmania and grew on almost clay and a cup of water each plant per day and I now live on the east Coast of Tasmania and have tried to grow again but I must say the seed was old so have brought fresh water mellon seeds and are trying rock mellon as well would like to know any hints you may have might I also add we have had to make all our own soil with composting anything and everything we live inland and it is quite hot over the summer months for Tassie, up to 30 and very dry
