Specially the grow--Purely curious about this, Will be interesting.Awesome
Should take some that soil home with you!Central u.s.a. black dirt in every direction, pure black gold ...... Came in a few weeks ago and built some mounds of dirt and added kelp, guano and was all done. The soil stays moist once you dig down a few feet in the swamp area and dry's up a little closer near the edge of the fields of grass ... I dug up dirt for filling holes later, went down three-four feet, nothing but black dirt, the root zone should explode in this wonderland. It's my first time at this spot ..... Every step you take feels like I'm walking on a soft carpet. I noticed when digging down on my knees they sank down like I was kneeling on a giant birkenstock sole ....
As far as you dig, no clay, no stones, nothing but worms ........ It basically perfect. Temps in the 70's-80's most of the time, humidity around 60% daily, everything gets sun at the crack of dawn. Mixed in with the sporadic trees that pepper the swamppy area that grow about 20-25 feet then die off from carpenter ants, setting up times during the day that provide on and off sunlight but they will get well over 8 hours of direct sun which we like. :smoking:

Blaze what night temps do you usually put your plants out? My temps 47-53 degrees right now!Beautiful area and nice looking native soil. The native soil around here is crap, you would have a very hard time pulling off a grow like that here. How do you go about finding your spots? Just hike around a whole bunch until you come across them? Google Earth? Soil survey maps?
I popped these beans feb 1 i wanna kick em out to there new pots getn to cramped in there, dont wanna get root bound either you knowI tend to agree with SpiderK's philosophy with seeds - put them out early, under natural light, and don't baby them too much. Mine have been outside for 3 weeks now and we have been having lows in the 40's. As long as you aren't getting freezing temps they should be fine. They won't grow quite as fast at first as if they were in a heatened greenhouse or indoors, but you are setting them up to be hardy, strong, resilient plants which will pay off in the long run. I really don't pay too much attention to temps unless we have a frost warning or something, I just wait till we are past our LFD (last frost date).
