Thanks, after doing a little research i came to that same conclusion. What i could do with the plot is make swamp tubes. I have some 5 gallon buckets laying around, i could cut some 1" diameter holes in the bottoms for the roots to reach down and drink from the surrounding wetland. I'll probably fill the pots with a mix of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite. Does any one know if i have to worry about the plants becoming root bound? I'm not really looking to grow monsters, I'd be happy to get 2-4 zips per pot.

Sup everyone, always liked this thread and it has lots of good info for any new comers/growers.
I was actually going to start a general Guerrilla Q&A in the OD section but didn't know if I should or how to start it.

Anyways.... in my neck of the woods it looks like its actually warming up and spring is slowly creeping in. Still some snow around but I did get out today to scout some places etc, and really got me in the growing mood lol.

One question I did have for anyone reading this is any thoughts on composting out in the bush? I have a bunch of filled and leftover 5-7 gallon growbags that have been outside for almost a year now. I also have some leftover soil that got spilled out on the ground which sparked the idea of composting it while its just sitting out there... anyone??

hey rob, lets knock the cobwebs out round here........

compost....for re-use this season, later seasons or incorporate into the forest?

if you want to reuse this season you could make a pile, mix in ewc/compost(quality compost, which is easy for us to get anywhere in new england commercially....relatively of course), wet it thoroughly, not sopping, and cover with leaf litter thickly............i dont know if you'd need to "cook it" for a duration, unless you add more amendments

im on the path concerning organic soil culture so im no authority, but thats what i would do off the cuff w/o more research and more info on what yer looking for. recycling soil is huge in the organic soil threads....

on another note, whats the latest you take your plants in the fall?

[Rob547]

No doubt Ion.
What I was asking essentially was a season-to-season basis, letting shit compost or do whatever from nov-april (ish). Not 100% on 'cooking' times myself.

Im at 42N and I fully plan/anticipate cutting by end of September, just cause of frost and crazy unpredictable weather. However, looking back at my notes; last year was 10/11 first harvest and 11/6 last harvest. The 11/6 date was post-frost and (according to my notes) snowed the day after LOL.

Year before (2011) harvest was 10/17, 2010 plants were still up 10/13, 2008 first plants came down 9/26 - remember it was crazy rainstorm while I harvested soaking wet buds, lost essentially nothing, last one came down around 10/12.
