Growing Watermelons with ExploGrow™
Posted to Hendrik Putter’s Farmers’ Union group:
“Here’s a comparison for you to see what a difference the ExploGrow™ made!” 
“Both watermelons are from the Crimson Sweet variety. The only difference is that the biggest one was planted 2 weeks later! Same water, soil, etc.”
Mr Putter also shared this email to his Farmers’ Union: “We expect Crimson Sweet to grow between 8 to 9 kilos. The watermelon on the scale is the same one as in the photo above, it’s not my biggest watermelon yet weighs about 11kg! I DEFINITELY recommend that you use this product! Remember, seeds were not even treated!” Hendrik Putter
Lab results: Brix (sugar content), appearance and taste:
“These Brix results are substantial, however, the most important test for me and the laboratory staff, was the taste. There was a remarkable difference in taste.The treated melon was sweet, juicy and a nice dark pink colour. The untreated one was very slightly sweet, lighter in colour and texture-wise also different.
“Hey ‘oupa’ we tried the watermelons and the treated one was much better than the normal one.” André & Leah
Great stuff ExploGrow! These watermelons are absolutely the sweetest, biggest, juiciest ever and taste like ice cream... even better!! We have never before had such a demand for watermelons and our customers only want the ones that we are getting from Mr Putter’s farm!Manuel de Freitas, Eienaar Spar Supermark, Somerset-Oos
Spar Somerset called me and ask for more “EXPO” watermelons, nothing else! When my wife gave me the message, I almost fell out of my chair! I dropped off 400 on Friday and they sold out in three days!Hendrik Putter, Waatlemoenboer
