Warning: my neighbor said to skip the gravel under my shed pad, and 8 months later it's sinking

When I built my 10x12 shed in April, my neighbor Dale told me to save the $180 and just set the blocks right on the dirt, swore his held up fine for 15 years. Well, after the wet spring we had here in Springfield, the back corner has dropped almost 2 inches, and now the door drags on the frame every time I open it. Should I dig it all out and lay gravel now, or just jack up that corner and pack more dirt under the blocks?
