Melon Net Bags

I grow vertically to save garden space and these things are awesome! I am using them with my cantaloupe and they keep the fruit secure and when it ripen it just falls into the bags so I know it's ready. Have some smaller watermelons I'll be using them on next.

I decided to trellis watermelon and cantaloupe this year. Zip ties, plastic straps, and string were no good at helping to support the fruit. These nets were very easy to use and kept my fruit supported, allowing them to ripen on the vine and not pull the vine off the trellis. As the nets are pretty deep, I made vertical slits in the side of the net to account for the shorter stems of the mellons. This method worked great and kept our fruit high and dry. The nets held up well in direct sunlight and I plan on reusing them next year. These also could probably be used for drying garlic or onions as well.

Cheap plastic and exactly what you would expect. You may have to re-tie the string through the top of the bag like I did to secure the fruits. Works great for supporting, transporting and protecting fruit... even stood up to a few squirrel attacks and even saved my biggest watermelon of 2022 utter inhalation from death by furry mammal.

Held alot of weight, large bags! Even worked good for stopping the deer from eating my watermelons.

The bags work great

If I had to choose only one fruit or vegetable to grow, it would be pumpkins. This year I grew my pumpkins in a different location from where I normally plant them. There was a fence around the patch and to my delight they started taking over the fencing. Since pumpkins can be quite heavy, I used these nets to help support the fruit. The nets were perfect. My beautiful pumpkins grew happily on the vine. They looked so pretty and I was sad when it was time to cut them off the vine.

They arrived on time. Exactly what I needed. I am filling them with 10lbs of naval oranges. The netting is strong and durable. I love that each bag comes with a string to tie the bag up. Great product.

Purchased these as hanging nets for trellis grown cantaloupe melons, that usually reach about 5-10 pounds. They seem to rip easy and the tie string rips thru the netting semi-easy if too much weight is put in all at one. I tested one with a 5 pound sack of flour first, and it held until you give it a little bounce, then it all ripped right thru. I missed the return window, so I’m using them in the garden anyway....but instead of growing the melon inside the bag, I hang the melon in it like a hammock, which doubles up the netting....so far so good.
