Dig a trench about 4 inches deep in a circular shape about 3 feet in diameter. Pile the soil into the center to form a hill.
Plant melon seeds around the outer edge of your hill, about 6 inches apart. Use a sprinkler or hose spray to water them after planting: it's fine to overhead-water the area until the seeds sprout, about 1 week to 10 days later.
Install a drip irrigation system in your melon patch, or wind a soaker hose in the trench around your melon hills. Alternatively, place the end of a garden hose in the trench.
Run your drip system, soaker hose or garden hose at a medium drip speed for about 30 minutes two or three times each week until the fruit begins to form.
Run your drip system, soaker hose or garden hose at a medium drip speed for about 45 minutes once every 12 to 15 days after melons begin to form on your vines.
