I have 10 tons of sand being delivered tomorrow to put on top of the landscape fabric, I sure do dread the work but I know it will pay off in the long run.

Frank Mudd uses landscape fabric and put 1/2 inch of sand on top of the fabric, Keeps weeds out and the watermelon roots right thru the sand and fabric.

Wish me luck.

I have been using the advanced nutrition fertilizers from Mark Clementz over at worldwidegiantgrowers.com and it makes my plant grow pretty good so far.

I don't blame you for dreading that. That's a lot of sand to spread!

I found out 10 tons is about 8 yards of sand.They sell it by the yard around here.
