Here's a picture of my watermelon under my two peach trees last year. I was having a heck of time keeping the fruit trees watered well enough with the drought conditions and the weeds were getting the best of me. I had put down weedblocker cloth, topped with 4-6" of dried grass/hay clippings, but neither seemed to help much. After planting the melons, this took care of both issues. As I walked around, I would guide any stray vines back toward the center. A good watering every week to 10 days took care of the moisture needs.
