Bras used to support melons
Swindon farmer uses bras to support farm's melons

Rowie Meers said she would need bigger bras when she began growing watermelons next year


A Swindon farmer has taken to using customers' bras to support the melons she grows on her farm.

Rowie Meers, of Purton House Organics, started growing galia melons this year but found the heavy fruit were falling off and getting damaged.

So she put out a request for customers to send her their unwanted underwear to suspend the melons.

"The smaller bras, the melons spill out of them, so we need the DD cup which sort of cradles them nicely," she said.

4. Love it
But a secret for her might be that old pantyhose work much better.
