Hi, Live in northeast Florida and basically have sand for my soil. Put down several bags of compost to form a hill, planted watermelon seed, and expected with fertilizer to reap a bountiful harvest. Getting a few watermelons but some of them seem to develop rot from laying on the sand and the scrap grass. Should I have put down some weed inhibiting layer before the watermelons started to grow and keep them on the material after they sprouted? Bob
