You’ve had enough pm:DShow me the studies, please. I am desperate for your guidance. I have no idea what I’m doing. Please help me. Please PM me.
You can plant as early as weather will permit as long as you slowly adjust the lighting to match the outdoor lighting period. I have gone outside the beginning of May doing that, see 2016 grow log. You can even put seeds directly into the ground and let them sprout and grow naturally.Yes bobcat makes it easy but ur pkants wknt yiekd as wekl as in a raised bed or pots.

I’ve been growing in the ground for a while now, and I just re did my orchard this year. I wish I had a backhoe, I used my front bucket so my holes are 5 feet wide now, lol.
I think what you are doing is great. Make certain the indoor lighting is matched to natural light timing before they come out to stay. The only problem that I have run into with holes is that my original holes were only 6feet apart. That the main reason for the redo.
The only benefit to bags that I can see is they keep your garden soil from slowly migrating into your holes. I have never used protection underground with wire, etc. , and have been lucky, but 18 inch cages big enough to allow a good football to be established wouldn’t hurt. I’m jealous you have plants growing since 17. Can’t wait to see them.
Thanks for the advice. Thought about using the bucket on the tractor. Wasn’t looking forward to filling up that hole. Lol. I’ve got them about 10 feet apart long ways and 15 feet apart the other way.
Did you go 50/50 with your mix?Exactly. I started thinking about filling these mfs after digging about half of them. I did have to buy more soil because of it.
Another tip for OD is always when using good old mother earth directly and not doing container grows ie grow bags/pots etc is send a sample of your soil and have a soil test done so you know if your soil has any deficiencies that may or may nor require amending.Thanks for the advice.

And this can go 2 ways, you may find you have great soil that doesn't require additional inputs and this will save you $$$ and labor in your preparation stages.
It also will let you know what macro and micro nutes you soil may be lacking and allows you to amend accordingly.
If you live where the snow flys do your end of season amendments such as composted manure, compost, EWC and other organic inputs at the end of harvest and your will be in good shape for the following spring.
I am envious of your property BTW man good grow some mighty fine trees on that plot!!!!!
