None in today, When I got to the particular spot, I had dug holes and replaced dirt The texture was MUD. That spot is awsome it is just that the water table is too high right now for that spot.
Anyone else ever run into this problem? After seeing my soil so mud like I don't even think I will consider planting there till june1. What do you guys think?
Oh and my soil it almost perfect and airy enough, It's the water table making the water stay!

use a 5 gallon bucket
na no 5gallon buckets for me, maybe 12gallons. The spot is good,just with that hellashis rain we had..... I am pretty sure as time goes on that will be less likely to happen again,although I am still waiting for michiganders to chime in with there opinions on the whole water table issue.

I would say that the water table will probably lower as we move into warmer temps. The spring thaw puts alot of water into the ground, along with the spring showers. I am no expert on this though, just giving my opinion. Check out this link http://www.iwr.msu.edu/edmodule/water/cycle.htm

Got them in my indoor cab from a clone from a friend ( no more clones from friends)
been fighting them for 6 months but with 22 plants vegging to go outside I couldnt kill all the little basterds
I have been hitting them with doktor doom but some how they always seem to pull through (they are tough little F*%&ers)
Hopeing maybe some outdoor bugs kick there ass and leave my girls alone

Well so far I have lost 1 plant to a groundhog, I trapped the groundhog and replaced a plant. Other than that things are well. I will also say this again " man those mandala seeds want to grow!"
