what to do before putting soil in hole outdoor growing

[jayp]

When growing outdoors is it better to put soil mix directly in the hole or is it better to put black garbage bag in hole then put soil mix in bag. If it is better with bag then dirt why is it i have seen some videos on net of people putting bag in hole then soil and plant and was wondering if i could benefit from this. Thanks for any help and also how do you post pics on here new to the website.:thumbs:

its best to mix the compost in with the dirt so it dont get water logged also if adding organic fert a cure time of 1-2 months is advised before planting

Thanks agito but is it better to line the hole with the bag and put compost/soilmix in it. The hole i dig is 3'x3' and then i just put compost and soil mix in hole but some people on net put garbage bags inside of hole and put their soil mix/compost in it.

i wouldnt do that unless your in a very dry area to retain water if in a wet area like me you may drown them
just put compost and soil mix in hole and mix im not an outdoor expert but bear in mind cannabis is just a plant

treat it like a tomato

i would dig a hole and add lime to bottom--add your soil and cover with leaves a few weeks then plant!!!

Thanks littleT i was wondering why add the lime to the bottom first do you suggest this even if the soil is good.?

 

[littleT]

yes because soil under your hole my have too much of something---nutralizes hole soil first--then you can add your own ferts as plants grow
