swamp growing

is it all right to plant in swamp land? theres no surface water at all, but im worried about root rot what do you think?

I planted close to water aswell, i put my plants out at different distances from the water, still trying to fiure out how far is best. Plus there is always the possibility of flood or drought so spread em around.

Good Luck

as long as the ground isnt soaking wet all the time.

can u use pots? buckets?

i use big pots with the bottom cut off more like a tube fill good compost and perlite put pot in ground 5cms or so plant in top the the roots will grow out the bottom into swampy soil get its water the roots in the pot will still have loads of oxegen when feeding feed into pot that is where the mat of feeding roots will be (tap roots out the bottom) hope this helps you to grow where no one will go.

YouTube - NEVER GET RAIDED Preview- Growing Outdoors

watch this vid, it gives great tips on how to not get caught growin outdoors..

ya as he said use pots or plastic bags dug into the ground, better to keep your potting soil seperate..

my mate grows in the mangroves ,plenty of water but if it is in the swamp? not sure, but do as he does get grow bags and put them in the plants of bushes growing around there,keep them out of the muddy shit. ,but my idea of a swamp myy be different ???

hye i've been looking for grow bags but all i can find are tiny little ones, do you have any idea where i could look for them?

I think HTG supply carries them. But if you don't want to order online I am sure you have a garden store near you? I am growing near a swamp too. Well an old swamp, but with alot of rain it could turn into a swamp again; a lot of cypress trees.

how big are your grow bags? all the ones i'm finding are like 1 foot by one foot, and i don't think that would grow too big of a plant

I used to have some 3 gallon ones. They were big enough for a mature plant. I don't know the measurements though...

hmm, well if i can't find them i'll just use garbage bags

cant you get compost in bags at the garden center in 80 liter bags or the u.s equivalent you can cut holes in these and plant straight in it
