What's up everyone Kevin from Epic Gardening here? We're back again with

Kaleed the Plant Charmer and we're gonna talk about probably the topic he's most

well known for and certainly most people would love to know about and that would be vertical growing

101 but before we get into the 101 let's talk about like the 2001 and that would be these

cantalopes that you're growing Colette.

I saw him on Instagram just a couple days ago.

Looks like something out of Disney's Epcot Center

or something that Elon Musk would have invented.

So can you talk a little bit about your setup

for these cantalopes before we get into some of the practical vertical stuff?

Yeah, absolutely. Well, it's pretty simple. I mean, it's just as if you're growing tomatoes, so high wire training, except it's not a wire, it's a rope.

So basically you need something solid there to hold the way to the vine up.

So we'll just trim the side branching that comes out in cantaloupe, or the watermelon, whatever it is we do and we'll just

start twisting it around the vine as it grows.

Now the success comes from the details, which is very often wise, the system will not work with specific. the is a personal size fruit, whether it's a cantalou, watermelon or whatever, and something that's smaller,

so it's going to be easier for the plant to manage, less stress on the vine.

And it works with my business model anyway because massive things are not how could I say this the

world is going towards personal size veggies smaller things so it kind of works it's very

desirable products so if you match all these characteristics

and then you start trialing with things like that,

then at the point you'll see what works or it doesn't.

So on average, up to five pounds per fruit
