Q&A - How do I get rid of the grass in my watermelons?

Question:
What can I use to kill the grass growing in my watermelons?

Answer:
Be careful when spraying an herbicide into your vegetable garden as you may kill your vegetables. There are some options on the market that would kill grass but not watermelons. A better option would be to control the grass before the watermelons are growing. There is also the option to use the wipe technique with glyphosate: carefully wipe the grass with herbicide while not putting the glyphosate on the watermelons.
