So i need some good outdoor advice on picking a good spot with good soil, i will dig a hole and fill with potting soil but i would still like to have them in a place with good soil. So what are the things to look for when looking for good rich soil to trans plant them into?

I will start them off in small cups then transplant them to a bigger pot at least 2 times, the 3rd time i will put them in the earth to finish out the year and to grow big. I plan on getting a bag of soil and perlite, anyone know where i can get perlite for cheap plz do tell. im on a small budget thats why im doing this outdoors.

Oh and when picking spot for your plants outdoors. Is it better if they get all of the morning sun up until a like 1 or 2 pm, then be shaded the rest of the day or is it better to get the afternoon sun or a mixture of the 2?


Also any other advice would be great im hoping my 2nd grow will be better than the 1st one.
Be my specialty iven though I dont concider myself a pro just well by my ways is all. I be keepin this real simple pilgrem here what i be doin but remember to take ALL YOUR conditions into consideration specialy ifin yual got lots of folks livin round yu because I DDONT thus gives me more freedoms then most.

Anyways

I find a hardwood forest clump or thick stand of trees with a slope out the south side be gentle comin out the forest. Gentle slop not steep or bowled yu want this for natural nutrience comin from forest floor durin rain and slop be makin sure rain be waterin but not stickin round.
South side were I be hangin my hat be providin as much sun contact fur the day I be gettin before it tucks behind hardwoods for a bit during early afternoon then be makin a hour or two appearence in the afternoon be givin them kiss good night from the sun as she slips away.

Good exsposure good drainage be key to hapiniess be stayin away from coniferouse treees as the soil around them be very acidic must be hardwoods forest. Soil in these areas should look black and healthy consistancy in texture and yual do alright pilgrem hopin this all be givin ya good idea what yual should want or look for much luck to yu and yur trails yu walk.
