watering near streams

yesum im also in a heavily populated area and took me a while to find it because in the beginning most of my spots were state or regional parks, but after reasearching a bit I decided not too considering all the extra risks and penalties. I don't know if you read in Julians thread about a guy who was growing just 10 FUCKING PLANTS was staked out by cops until he came to feed them, pretty much thats when I rethought my planting strategy.

True but sometimes those parks are great secure access to land that they bump up against. This private land wouldnt have the same penalites.

Yea its just for the numbers Im trying to pull off and in the area im in (about 20 min from that bust above ) 1 plant is a felony and laws can and will fuck you, so to be on the safe side and to be able to get some sleep during the season ill plant some where else make sense?

Maybe its just me but everytime i'd have to visit in a state park id be shitting bricks

One thing you might want to try is to go to the side of the stream that goes downhill not to far from the stream. Once there walk around and look for places that water from the stream that has went underground and is seeping back out. You can find a nice couple of spots and they will get a constant flow of water as long as the creek bed doesn't dry up. This is more effective on streams that are coming out of mountains or hilly area's.

For areas that are flat if you put your plants out earlier make sure they are one the side of the stream where it is currently meandering away from. When there is bad flooding or strong water flow your plant might flood but will have a lower chance of being washed out. When you do plant just make sure you dig deep enough that you hit the water table from the stream.

One thing also about streams....
they attract a lot of wildlife either looking for water or those who want to make a meal outta those that are there for water.
I would make sure no critters decide to use your plants for part of the daily diet.
