| I think I read a couple posts saying they that watermelons root along some nodes on the vine... Just wanted confirmation since would be cool to have other rooted nodes in case the main plant dies because of insects/disease. also if they do re-root along the vine, have another question... Thanks!, |

| 1. In my experience they do. 2. No point in covering them with dirt if there's plastic underneath. However, you could carve out a hole in the plastic underneath the nodes of choice and mound soil over them. |

| Yes they do, if there is a good contact and the soil under it is moist. |

| Yes, they will root along the vine..DO NOT cover the vine with soil, you will promote disease. Cut a hole in the plastic or whatever fabric you have down and pin them down with whatever and they should root. Good LUck |
