Cardboard under melons?

Hi,

I am growing some small cantelopes and Bush watermelons in my vege garden.

I have several cantelope and one watermelon fruits so far - just starting out.

I was going to cut peices of cardboard and place them under each melon to keep them from touching the dirt and rotting/insects. I was informed by my husband that I am crazy. Is this something people do?

Sorry if this is asked all the time - I could not find it with a board search.
