Some of the best soil in the USA is found around where I live. Unfortunately, I do not have such soil, my soil is mostly clay.
This brings me to my question. I have three choices I can think of right now to grow my marajuana next year. A 200 gallon or so fabric pot in the ground, out of the ground, or planting in the ground without a fabric pot. I grew last year in the ground with a fabric pot, but I grew in the woods on the side of a cliff and the water had no chance to puddle and stagnate since it trickled off the cliff. Next year I am planting in the middle of a field.
I was thinking that if I plant in the ground I can run drainage tile to prevent water buildup after a heavy rain. I am also leaning toward planting in the ground, in a fabric pot, since there are a lot of moles around where I live. The fabric pot would serve as protection while letting the roots expand outside of the pot.
I am thinking I would get larger plants if I plant on the ground rather than above the ground in a fabric pot but I have seen a lot of YouTube videos of commercial growers out West planting in a large above the ground fabric pots.
Does anyone have some input? What do you do? What would you do if you were me?
