On today's 2 minute garden tip, I share an easy, cheap way to protect melons from animals. Watermelons, cantaeloupes, honedew and other melons are vulnerable to damage from raccoons, possums, rats, squirrels and other small and medium-sized mammals. Protecting melons from animals in an easy, affordable way is mandatory to maximize your melon harvest.

This method of protecting melons from pests is easy and costs only a few dollars. I recommend getting your laundry baskets in-store for the best price. However, if you don't want to run to the store, you can order a 6-pack or 12-pack of similar baskets here*: https://amzn.to/4d1n6Q0
