The area I chose for my melons was grassed and would have been a lot of hard work to prepare the ground to avoid weeds and grass from choking out the melons plus, melons are prone to disease and don't like their leaves/vines getting constantly wet with hosing, so l decided to grow them up on a trellis.

Many of us in this area have clay soil but it shouldn't deter anyone from planting food or a floral garden. Clay is full of minerals and beneficial nutrients and just needs to be amended before planting with compost, manures or any organic material to help break it up.
