My lot is only 1/5 acre....I was wondering if anyone could save me some research time and tell me if you can trim vine plants such as a watermelon and canteloupe plant...and the plant still produce like it should? Having so little land for this stuff I would like to keep the vines to about 12-15 ft. long at the most....

Two years ago when I had my 43 lbs watermelons, I had let the vines reach about 25 ft. That was such a pain when it came to mowing the yard....my wife would have to pick the vines up and move them for me while I was mowing....and the one watermelon plant had 5 friggin vines, and not all of them produced either.

Thanks for any help.

Looking forward to your setup LandRaider. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Wish I had some acreage.
