Floaters help

[u/Available-Dot4950]

Hey everyone I used dried dill in my fermented watermelon because didn't have fresh and even though I added it to the bottom it floated up since it's tough to pack watermelon tightly. I get anxious about floaters and cannot get these to go below the brine.

I dumped out brine to carry them out until there were a lot less (after I took the pic) and then re added brine but there are still dill floaters. Do you guys just roll with it or do you have advice?

Current state: clean spoon and scoop, sprinkle a little salt right on top. This is what I have done, sometimes… sometimes I just ignore it.
Future state: same as above, use a teabag or something like that to put the spices in.
