GL-1 for me.Could potentially have (4) melons over 200 #'s this year. For me that's a great accomplishment. All (4) were grown on the GL-1 rootstock with the axe blade grafting method as I refer to it.No stump issue's but I did the sand and pea gravel filtration/drainage on all plants and a lot of preventative measures for stump rot.

I may give the Atlantic Giant rootstock a trial. I would like to see if I can get one to grow through the whole season.
