''ýou'll never never know if u don't give it a go" From my expeirence of using wicking beds, as long as u have set up your bed correctly, watermelons should grow successfully,provided they get adequate summer heat. I experienced 46C on the day of the Victorian Black Saturday bushfires, the only vegetable bed that didn't die on that day was the one set up as a wicking bed. I rest my case.
