Why are My Melons and Strawberries Not Sweet

Question

Why are my strawberries and melons not sweet? I have organic and well drained soil and the area gets sun at least 8 hours a day.

Answer 1

I would have the soil tested, as this most likely is caused by something lacking in the soil. The pH level may not be acidic enough either.
