Your dream guerrilla soil??

Ok, so you found the perfect spot... 5 miles up the steapest mountains... Full of spkiky bushes... Mud... Swamps to cross... Cursing... Huge bugs attacking you... More cursing... Volcano hot sun all day... Water near by... A place where nobady goes... NOBODY... Perfect right... But the soil is crap... So you have to dig and haul lots of fertillizers (bone meal, blood meal, perlite, manuer and ect.)

What do you bring??

a watermelon

what do you meen by poor soil? too much clay/sand, no vegetation there, too shallow? I would save your energy for making the hole as big and deep as you can. can't go wrong with well rotten manure.

depends what is wrong with said crap soil

there are a ton of good amendments for most soils

Peat moss
Perlite
Verm.
Dolomite Lime
Bat+seabird guano
Cocco
Earth worm castings
Blood+bone meal
Gypsum
Azomite
Fish Meal
...theres zillions of amendments

But I feel that the most important are Peat moss, Perlite, and EWC, and maybe some guano

i have a few spots like this and all are difernt. i learned along time ago not to trust anyone. so dont us any help. and i also learned it eaier to take soil in over a yr. alittel at a time. rather then try and do it all in rush and leave a huge trail. i have a spot im working on now i hauled in 30 bails of straw to mix in the clay and sand soil. its goin to take a yr to break down after i mix it in the soil and add bone meal ect. i also like to trim the trees and train them to hide my plants. i even plant stickers. every place is differnt and yr after yr the spot will take differnt amendments. get a soil sample and take it to local farm agecey and tell them your starting a garden and you want a soil test. its cheap and saves you alot of work.

o and i pay my kid 1 cent a worm and he gets me a coupel thousnad a yr. i take them and put them at all my spots. works wonders

50-60 clones in 5-7gal holes
native soil
Earthworm castings(12bags)
shrimp compost(6bags)
perlite(Large bag)
Mycorrhizae Blend 1lb.
amendments: Alfalfa meal,Granular Dolomitic Lime, Blood&bone meal and bat guano for top layer feeding
I'm guessing 2 hauls in?

Pro-mix, some lime, a big bag of Marine Cuisine, and lunch because I'll be digging holes all day.

yeah it depends, sometime you wont even need to haul in lime depending on the soils PH.

In my situation I cant haul in soil because people would see me from the access road hauling soil into the forest, and what are they gonna think?

another option is to make a compsot pile in the forest out of surrounding vegetation, and return in a year to see what youve got.

compressed coco bricks and 4 cubic foot bags of perlite and vermiculite. you could eaisly haul 1 bag each of perlite and vermiculite since there super light along with 4 - 10 coco bricks each trip.

no need just find old rotting logs and stumps... the more dirt/soil/compost looking the better.... heck ive even thrown a couple plants in some stumps and have had fab results holds lots moisture too which is another good thing

A fat joint and plenty of munchie stuff. lol. But seriously, I'd go with some prenuted soil if had to go thru all of that.(ocean forest, eb stone, MG, etc..) and perlite. Just make sure you get plenty of sun. No way I go thru all that trouble again to feed nutes. But thats just me. And It'll only get worse when the summer hits. The bugs, bees, and whatnot. lol Hell, I dont even know if I'd go back in there to remove the males. Hope you got some feminized seeds. lol Guess you could just bring in the stuff you mentioned, but you better have a strong back. Btw, i read somewhere where this guy mixed up all of his nutes and put them in big ziplocks. That might help. So ziplocks full of nutes and ammendments and premixed soil. Thats what I'd do.
