If the air temperature dips, protect watermelons with floating row covers. Soil. Grow watermelon in rich, well-drained soil. Planting watermelon on hills or mounds ensures that roots stay warm and that the soil is well drained. Amend the planting area with compost and well-rotted manure.
Best Answer: David P is correct! http://recipecircus.com/recipes/Joy/Equi... Multiply the number of pounds of sugar the recipe calls for by 3.75 to find out how many cups of sifted powdered sugar you need. 2. 1lb = Approximately 4 cups of icing sugar. Fluid oz is different from dry ingredients' oz. 1 lb confectioners sugar = 3 3/4 cups, which is different from granulated sugar and brown sugar according to Domino Sugar company site. http://www.cooking-solutions.com/convers... 4 cups equals 1lb.
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.
