A Must Read/Guide to Guerrilla Growing

[Sunbiz1]

This one had my attention end to end, awesome read!

"You can't let anybody know what you are doing. This involves some degree of isolation for a long time. No parties at your curing house! It's pretty hard to explain the rooms full of wire and twine strung all over the place, much less the pack frames, machetes, bags of vermiculite and so on.

The grower's lifestyle can be hard on your psyche, your relationships and your loved ones. The rewards can be significant, but they are not without very real costs and great risk."

"During the course of the growing season, you will have to deal with a lot of things that you didn't expect. Deer and other wildlife will
thrash your beds. Sudden storms will smash down your plants with downpours of rain and gusty winds. Your truck will break down in the middle of nowhere, your cell phone won't work and your dog will get lost."

I'd like to amend this portion a bit, using cell phones is generally not such a hot idea...unless you are able to disable GPS locating.

I turn mine off.

Yeah I'm basicly expecting to loose 25 percent so in the 3 spots of 15 I'll put 20 I know that you usually loose some, one guy I heard his saying on guerilla growing is 1 for the cops one for the robbers and one for you, so you guys think 3 plots is good?

How maney plots you guys normally putting out this year?

Dozens of plots @ 2-3 per plot.

When you do your dozens are they in the same general area? I'm going to spread the patches into like 3 completly different forest then at each patch of 15 I'll spread those around like 2 here 3 there you know.

Randomly planting in 4's is always a good idea, using the existing native plants as cover. I've walked right by my own plants without even noticing using this method. Hell, the first visit out there I have to spend 20 minutes finding the damn things.

Fertilizer (rabbit manure is gold, liquid fish fertilizer is also very good)
- Blooming mixture
- Soil conditioning additives (vermiculite, mulch or commercial manure mixture, bone meal, peat moss, etc.)

The above is a paste from the article, and that guy was doing it in the Pacific NW. This brings up a conditioning question. In the past I have used peat to unlock all those wonderful nutes in the clay soil. Why did he use the bone meal?.

Also its very important to build a fence, for the poles use logs cut with a bush saw and dig post holes with post hole shovel. This increases chances of harvesting.

The reason the author almost got caught was most likely due to being spotted from the air. I have used existing trees and heavy twine at both 18" and 3' ht. to actually re-route deer off their own paths. Carving plots is a quick means to discovery. For this reason, I remove a native plant(such as horseweed)and replace them randomly with my own weed.

Yeah if I'm doing like groups of four or five plants should I make one of those like a little 2 foot one around the patch of 4 or 5 then like 50 feet up do another then like another 50 feet do another.

That's another thing I was thinking it would be kind of obvious and I plan to plant 25 percent extra in case a deer or something does get a couple here or there.
