this was from last year, i dont like to dig holes;p the soil here is mostly sand and there are too much roots formt he pine trees tog o thru, plus i prefer pots because at first they can add an extra 1-2 ft to your plants height but then you can just put it in a hole and it would be ground level, i had a problem last year with 1 of my plants standing in 1 ft of water for 3 hot days, it didnt die, but then again i didnt get good dense buds..
