SOIL 
Watermelons prefer well drained, sandy or sandy loam soil with 
a high nitrogen content - such as provided by decomposed al- 
falfa. They should be planted on land that is free of disease, 
nematode and fusarium wilt. Avoid heavier soils, as watermelons 
grown on that type of soil are generally inferior in quality 
and yield.
