Hi, im new to growing but ive read alot about it, i live in new jersey so what would be the best time to grow? Also, i wanna spend as little money as possible on this first grow. Can i plant in a cup then plant the cup in the ground so it isnt noticable? and can i make my own soil out of wild dirt?
http://forum.grasscity.com/general-outdoor-growing/308969-outdoor-grow-guide.html check the local almanac and gardening sites for when to plant in your location. Avg. last days of frost is somewhere between April 1 and April 30 but that fluctuates.
There are pots called jiffy pots that you can plant right into the ground you can get them at home depot. as for soil there should be some good threads around here that tell you how to make some good stuff. Oh and also there is a method of making a pot out of newspaper and you can plant that right into the ground as well. just google how to do it i would paste a link but i cant copy and paste right now for some reason. good luck
