Cheap Lee Valley Melon/Squash Cradles

These cradles elevate melons while they grow, allowing air circulation to keep their undersides dry and reducing the risk of rot.

Suitable for squash as well as cantaloupes and other melons, the oval cradles have a webbed design that provides good support for the melon and won’t trap water. Slits in the spike provide additional drainage.

Each cradle is 7 3/4″ × 6 1/2″ with a 2 1/2″ spike. Molded from sturdy UV-resistant plastic, they can be reused for many seasons.

An excellent solution to a common problem.
