Need your advice on the plots I desided on

When I'm picking spots, these are the things I keep in mind:

1. any sign of human life
2. full sun, and how much of it
3. soil, (and how wet it is)
4. if it's near water, I know it's easier to grow near water, cause then you don't have to haul it in, but the helicopters know that too, so I make a point to NOT grow near water, more work, but safer IMO
5. cover, and what kind, this is a toss up for me, evergreens are best for cover obviously cause they don't lose their leaves/needles, whatever, but you'll also be dealing with more acidic soil near evergreens(if you're going in the ground, not containers). I don't know the vegetation in cali, I'm far far away, but I try to grow near sumacs, as their flower bud thing looks similar, and they provide cover, and sun to get through at the same time
6. a tree line or something that allows me to access my plants without leaving a trail, like i can just pop out of a tree line and be at them
I'm sure there's more I'm not thinking of, but those are some big ones, if that helps, hope it does

Nice, iv been thinking about other flowers/ vegatation to cover my ladies

Ya that's a job in itself, I have spend almost as much time researching local vegetation, it's habits, and life-cycle, as I have spent researching weed

Thats smart, I still havent taking the outdoor plunge yet, going to this year and im stoked.

Put a patch at each location. Also dont plant where the trees are,they are paperbark (swamp trees) and it will flood in that gully late summer.

Well I've never seen it flood out here. But also it's been a realy dry winter. I can't plant next to the trees. It's already a mud hole but was thinking of on the hill sides high enough so they are out of the wet soil but low enough it waters itself. Going to mix a ffof and perlite mix with worm castings. Dig a hole and mix natural soil with my mix. Leave it till I see leaves yellowing or showing signs of nut def. Then add my mix of organic tea. Top with guano mixed in with the top 3 inch of soil. Sprinkle dry nutes on the top soil and let it go.
If I put diatamatus earth(sp)? around the plants would it change the nutes I'm trying to stableize? Don't know what the ph of the water is yet but I will next time I'm out there. Is there a way to ajust the soil so ph is where I need it if the water is to high or low. I'm going to be asking some stupid questions. I'm a indoor hydro guy so this is my first real grow in soil. SKits a big step but there is one way to learn and that's to jump in and do it.

Bump. Any one got any insight on the soil mix I listed above?
