Swampin' West Coast style

Swamp growing has proved itself a very viable method for outdoor cannabis cultivation,and has been used by west coast growers for years.It provides perhaps the easist and most prolific site for outdoor stealth growing.It is also one of the least problematic methods,requiring the fewest visits,both self fertilising and self watering....stealth to the max.
In this first artical I will explain exactly what swamp growing is,where you want to plant in a swamp and the preseason prep.
A word of warning: For our friends in Florida and southern Louisiana,don't try this at home kids,mosquitoes and black-flies are one thing...Crocs and venomous snakes..quite another.
Location:The type of swamp you are looking for,may be called a bog,or marsh,depending on where you are from,but what you need is a lake that has a "floating" bog at one end or side.Aproaching from land,the surface should be springy and damp,to the point where if you walk out further you will sink in water.You want to ensure you are out on the floating bog,and not still on shore.
Preperation:It's first or second week of March.(asap after last frost).This is when you want to prep your spots.
Firstig a 3ftx3ft chunk of the bog out deep enough to reach open water below.Pile the material you take out of the hole in a mound beside the hole.It is this mound your girls will live in.Treat this mound of moss/soil with dolomite lime as swamps tend to be very acidic.At this time,a couple of cups of Texas(insect eating) bat guano,and worm castings can be tilled in.Leave this mess for two weeks to stabilise and thats it,your site is prepped.
Thats it for the first artical,more to come....next,time to plant.
