1950 -- WATERMELONS prefer sandy soil as they are desert plants. I can't remember who told us this or maybe it was Farmerdill? Anyway I would plant them on the ground and space you have? You can fertilize lightly afterwards. Maybe Farmerdill can help you on this subject? As far as the EBs are concerned I do not make my own. I tried and failed so I purchased the originals. I have nineteen and am very pleased with the results. I grow several varieties of melons. They really require very little care, however, I must keep a close watch for mold. To offset the threat I spray with Ortho Garden Disease Control. It works. Just leave them on the vine till the vine dries up...
