This is a question for seasoned vets of the great outdoors, thanks in advance for any and all advice.
Ok so two grow seasons ago I did an outdoor grow in the beautiful hills of Norte Califas. I amended the area and even created a stair path out of the pre existing clay based soil. I only had 9 holes that I dug out (about 1 meter squared on all of the holes) and all except one produced a monster of a cannatree. I use organics only, Power Flower was the soil with a mixture of coco fibers, perlite, polymer crystals, and a couple spoonfuls of some sort of extended slow release nutes from advance nutrients. The slow release was only in a couple though as an experiment. The nutes I used through veg and flower were only Superbat, Molasses, and Sweet. Oh and not that I think it makes much of a difference, but also a layer of dry mulch on top.
Anyways, all fortunately went very well with the grow and I harvested a crop I'm still smoking on to this day.(mind you the last plant harvested on Oct. 10 '07)The question is this though...with all that has been done to each of the grow holes is it okay to plant there again? I went to the patch recently and there is just brush growing over now with few scattered weeds and I easily could pull them up. I figure I was gonna sift through the weeded patch and pull up any remaining bigger roots then add a new fresh mix of the same mix as the previous grow. But I'm worried the soil that is there currently will be mixed with the new soil and will be lacking or too much in certain areas of nutrients or bacteria after being unkept for so long.
I'm next to positive I'm over analyzing this and I should just go with my instincts, but figured that some more experienced people could possibly shed light on something I'm not even thinking of.
Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated aswell. Like I've never used lime, bonemeal, dolomite, ect, is there something that you might want to suggest that has worked for you? Maybe something I should be adding/using that I'm not?
