I don't quite understand how understanding these basic mechanics can increase your income of farming by 100 times, but I'll take your word for it.
you don't need water to farm pumpkins/melons. The best thing to do is to have a 30X30X30 melon farm, with the following layout without water SEED CROP CROP SEED SEED CROP CROP SEED SEED CROP CROP SEED, etc you will be able to farm endlessly then.
32x32x30 on the border of a chunk I think would be best because the crops would always be growing, though I'm not sure and it's not a huge difference
These are basic tips for builders guys, it wasn't meant to go super in depth, and without knowing these basic steps you can never have a 200x200 farm that works well.
might be better, not sure. i just choose 30x30 because its a common plot size that people sell in towns
