Question

What if you grow watermelons on concrete? Do they sometimes get squishy? Also, what soil or mixture is best for a garden? I heard from my mom that rotten chicken poop is the BEST, but only when they are about full size.

Answer 1

To keep them from becoming mushy or moist, you should place the watermelons on newspaper, cardboard, or a bed of straw.

As for chicken manure, this is best used when composted. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/composting/manures/chicken-manure-fertilizer.htm
