Thanks su ba for a detailed answer so, I'll see when I get there...
In the meantime,  what are the best conditions for these crops?

Hi
How to grow Watermelon and other earth fruits (tomatoes, melons, sweet corn) in the wet tropics?
(Probably it will be in Ecuador)

Is a mounted/raised bed with Mulch would be enough?

Thanks.

Thanks so much su ba.
So Clover is hard to pull from the ground? Even if just to plant some seed for a tree once?

Thanks.
Grass is getting a lot taller than the groundcover I mentioned, and need chopping,  right?

I don't want something to takeoff completely,  just something I can pull with the roots quite easily when I plant fruit trees.

Thanks Hans,
I'm not looking for an edible groundcover,  just something with the properties that I mentioned,  thanks anyway

Hi.
I've heard that:
Lychee, oranges and Pomelo like a bit of cold.
And, that Akee likes a bit of dryness.

I want to start a fruit forest in the wet tropics of Ecuador or in that area. With night Avg. Temp of min. 22 celsius (70 F)

Can I grow those fruit trees and enjoy their fruits?
I love those fruits. Would appreciate answers

Hi.
I heard Mango likes semi dry climate, yet I've seen Mangoes also in the wet tropics.

What varieties do well in the wet tropics like in Ecuador?

Thanks

Hi.
I'm doing a research and planning for my future fruit forest.
I'm looking for ground covers.
So far I've found: Sweet potatoes, clover, Peanut and lucerne.

Properties I'm looking for:
Short as possible.
Soft and pleasant to lie down on (naked)
Nutritious to the soil.
Can be taken out easily when wanting to plant something else.
Doesn't need much caring.

I think that's about it. Hope didn't forget anything.

Thanks
