Mel doesn't differentiate in his book, and he just laughs off lots of conventional gardening methods because he acts like he knows better. He definitely recommends melons, tomatoes, and other heavy feeders be put into his "mix." I am literally staring at that section in his square foot gardening book right now. I can show you pictures if you'd like? Mel's methods are just plain awful if you're trying to grow anything other than a single head of lettuce.
