Pre-paring the great outdoors...........

[Smoke2GetHigh]

Ok, I have decided that indoor growing is not for me. I would like to grow outside next season and would like to prepare this area i have. There is a small creek with VERY THICK thornbushes that runs up the bank. My plans are to clear out some of these bushes next to the creek but try to make it where you cant see the plants or get close to them because of these damn pain in the ass bushes. But what i wonna do is prepare the area as well. I plan to clear out 50+ ft down the creek and atleast 10 ft back from the creek so i can get 10 plants or so. I was planning to take as many leaves and easy decaying shit on the forest floor and cover where i want to grow. And i might chop up the topsoil some too. This way the leaves and shit will make the soil fertile. Will that give the soil good nutrients and shit for growing next year, or is there an easier way to do it? Any advice is appreciated.

i'd turn the soil as deep as your back will allow you to go, mixing in as much stuff as possible. over the winter and early spring it will do it's thing. turn it again in the spring.

I wouldn't hurt to dig in a bag of manure to add some nitrogen to help break down the leaves. There are other N sources but I prefer something more on the organic side. Some of the best I've used is rabbit turds. They're sort of like cocoa puffs for your plants.

ya man if you can add so bagged soil or manure,it will help.if you plan on only doing 10 plants I suggest digging 10 big holes then filling them with a good mixed soil you can buy it bagged or do it yourself with the soil u have its up to u good luck bro!!

When your back starts hurting from digging, dig some more. Maybe a trench, in your case. Notate the Suns rays now, You'll want as much east to west sunshine as possible. Each plant needs as least 2' X 2' area for the rooting system. The bigger the rooting system, the healthier and bigger the plant. During the fall, if possible, collect all the raked up leaves that people put out for garbage. Add leaves, peat moss & "Live" organic compost together & place in the holes/growing area. Get some worms at a bait shop-Reg Wigglers, not Can. Night Crawlers, and throw in the mix. Keep damp, and add Molasses to speed up the composting. Cow manure, whatever you can use to build up your soil. No Chems. See dirtdoctor.com for additional info.
