I live on a sand dune. That is, what ain't lava boulders. Nice southern Utah sandstone sand. I want to plant some melons by some of the tree rings where they seep out. Lots of regular water, but little nutrients.
Question: Where I plant, should I till out a cavity and put in peat moss and other bagged amendments? Locals here say melons grow fine on sand, but I'd guess you'd have to at least add some fertilizer.
Help appreciated.
