new spot need advise
hey guys i went out looking for a new patch site's and found a few.nice clearings and water very close by.i had dug a few holes today and here is what i encounterd,1 set of holes i found beneath the surface is a thin layer of clayish material and beneath that is a good layer of sandish material.and a few feet away there are pine trees?what can i do with this????now it should get very good lighting with also a good amount of coverage i do need to clear out a few dead tree's small nothing big..i do think it used to be farm land because there is old old old wire fencing up. deer trails everywhere????no hunters go there as i watched this are alot..theres is good amount of wildlife around so i do not want to damage anything with chemicals...and the water source is known to have native trout in it as i do fish the area and nobody ever goes there and the spots arent noticeable from the water at all.so i dont want to damage the water in anyway so what can i add to the area to make it productive but not damaging the area any info what be great thanksthe only place i prefer to buy stuff at is walmart and home-depot so whatever materials i will need i should be able to get there but i wanna keep it cheap though

Ok well here is what you can do dig a hole now from what you said that soil dose not sound that good get decent right soil of your own and a pot you got fill the pot stick it in the soil so you get all the benefits but better intake of nutrients make sure you water it when it gets dry at the top of every 1/2 2 days watch it good make sure it dose all right and if so that's how you know its a good spot other then personal experience with open outdoor areas i hope this helps take care of the plant and for better potency read up on adding stuff to the soil like in store bought nutrients and other mixing also you can use staked up foil to get more sunlight it helps ...*Wink* *wink*.

Staked up foil is a BAD idea. When it is fresh and shiny, it makes your grow noticeable- to the point where someone passing by, or even flying over, might give a second look. Combined with pots and obvious disturbance, that screams COME BUST ME!!! When it is weathered, it is no longer shiny anyway, and can start to leach aluminum around your plants, whcih can lock out other nutrients.
Take that sandy layer and clayey layer and add a good helping of well rotted organic material- any type of old compost is great, especially rotted leaf humus. Composted manure is another good addition to a sandy soil to help it hold water better while providing nutrients to the plants. Mix everything up really well and let it sit through the winter rains if you can. Be VERY careful adding store-bought granular nutrients; read the instructions, and use less, or none, if you plan to give liquid feed too.
