I have almost a full bag each of the mushroom mulch and raised bed soil leftover that I mentioned I was going to use for the mulch tea bin. Thinking last night instead of the tea bin I will build about a 30 inch square box 6 inches deep and set it on the ground out in back of the lot and put the leftover mulch and raised bed soil in it and plant some melons in it. I like muskmelon as that is what we called them back on the farm. The ones that have the webbing on them.

The melons are too long of vines for a container so they should do in the box and let the vines run over the edge of the box. Maybe save some leaves from this fall to spread around the box to keep the grass down.

It is quite sunny in the afternoon in back of the lot so that would give about 8 hours of direct sunlight.
