Sow seed or set a transplant there. Watermelon roots commonly grow 8 to 10 or more inches deep; the hole and mound become a reservoir of moisture and nutrients. Care. Space watermelons 6 to 12 feet apart; donât let plants compete for soil moisture or nutrients.
With about 4.7 cups in a 2 lb. bag, that equates to about 2 1/3 cups in a pound. So 1 cup would be just under 1/2 lb., 3/4 cup would equate to about 1/3 lb., and 1/2 cup would be just under 1/4 lb. of brown sugar. Measure out the sugar. Use a dry measuring cup to ensure accuracy.
The problem, of course, is that a one-pound box is no longer the only  or even the most common  way to purchase powdered sugar. You most often find it in one-pound or two-pound bags, boxes, or canisters in grocery stores these days. Just as with flour, a pound of confectioner's sugar can take up more or less space depending on how it is scooped and measured. If you mash it into measuring cups, it takes up about 3-1/2 cups. If you gently scoop it, it takes up four. Our quibble is with that extra half-cup. A lot of recipes that call for confectioner's sugar ask you to add most of it, holding a bit in reserve in case you need to thicken whatever it is you're making.
