HOWARD-Ripe Melon Testing

[Rick Schneider]

I know you sometimes monitor these during the show, so:
Would you please repeat the little tips you get from listeners that you read on the radio/ By the time we have figured it is something we'd like to write down, we've forgotten exactly what it was....well maybe it's just my brain but I think it'd be helpful.
Or maybe a section on your web site that contains all of them that you read?
Thanks, Rick
PS enjoyed the seminar yesterday.

I second Rick's comment about enjoying the seminar yesterday. It was an excellent presentation by Tyson Woods about tree root flair. I learned alot about how to plant trees the correct way and how to uncover the root flair. He had great slides to back up his speech. I look forward to more of these in the future.
I would strongly suggest others join the Dirt Doctors Ground Crew and attend these seminars. There is a wealth of information presentated, plus you get to meet and talk to these people in person. I must thank Howard for inviting these people to the seminars.

The tip was to put a broom straw on top of the melon. If it sits still, the melon isn't rip. If it spins, the melon is ripe and ready to eat.
