The fruits purify from the ground, dirt, dry well. Each tykvina is placed in the grid or in a well-transmitting air fabric bag, and then hang on the ride. The better the ventilation indoors and below the humidity, the longer you can store melons with fresh. However, with this method of storage, it follows every 2-3 weeks to check each fruit and those on which signs of rotting appear, and either either eat in food (pre-removing the spoiled area) or throw away.
