I have about 30 50 liter cloth (geotextil) pots that I have been using for a garden on a terrace in the middle of the city and this was my attempt at watermelons.

This is so cool. How often did you water them?

Pretty much every day. The sun is strong during the summer and temperatures are regularly 30-33-35C for weeks. The cloth pots loose a lot of water daily, even with a thick layer of mulch. They are convenient though as they are easy to move and stack during the winter.

Awesome! Clearly your practices worked out! Makes me wish I had a balcony like yours so I could try to follow in your footsteps.
