planting in ground near lake

Does anyone know anything about growing plants directly in the ground near a lake (water source ect.) with your own soil put in and had good results without much visit/attention

is this lake private?do people fish on it?if so then you could plant them in some brush and run some pipe or something from the lake to the plant with a pump.just a thought.

anywhere near a large healthy body of water will be rife will animal life, use neem oil and be careful. i'd probably use a seperate pot myself as an added precaution against burrowers.

also, privacy is an issue as farmerjon said.

i heard using mud from the lake bed as an addition to your potting mix works really well, for what it's worth.

well it would be a good idea if no ever used the lake

the lake is on a regional park, it's illegal to fish and hunt there so the main trails are the only places where people will hike and mountain bike. the lake is located in the center thick forestation and would be hard to access and a needle in a haystack if you will. but leaving the site would be a bust because of hikers ect on the trails seeing me. what i had i mind was to amend my own soil into the claylike lake dirt (which is loaded with nutes from rotting lake debris but just too thick.) and i wondered if i placed it just the right distance away, the lake tides would pretty much water it for me from the water underground and hopefully allow it to dry out a bit too from keeping it a good 80 ft away so to think.

walk around the whole lake on the trails and find the lowest spot in the lake ( where catail and other swamp weeds grow and plant there

I always grow 1/4 m away from all roads and trails. DNR are sneaky as hell, dont leave any trash or cig butts around either.

right on, well my main question at this point is will it work, will i not have to visit the plants regularly if i do this right??

lake tides?

yeah right if you cant fish and there aint no dams on the lake

there wont be no tides my friend

what i meant by tides is it seems that the lake is at a different water level at different times of the day, and yeah theres a dam way on the other side

are you high when you go down there jk

the water levels should shift during the day unless you get a monsoon or some shit

since there is a dam yeah the water levels will shirt over the weaks is there a creek feeding into the lake because that will help the "tides"

watch out for heavy rains and flooding

nah i usually don't ever go faded when checking planting locations, but im 16 so im probably just not as savy as you hah. but when it comes to the dam i really dont know much about it or whats on the other side, i just see it from a distance from the lake spot i have in mind but im definately gunna check it out now to see whats up because im sure an adjacent creak/stream would be more efficient due to flowing water. as for rain and flooding i live in southern california so im not worried about it. you think i could pull it off?

If there are ppl that walk around the lake, dont waste your time. Its always a good idewa to grow arould lakes and ponds, because during the dry part of the season you can hike buckets of water back to the plants. If it is a heavy wooded area, get you a good topographic map of the area and look for ponds far from civilization and go from there.

yeah if you do it map it out and know exactly where there at so you dont loose them

no one goes up on the lake at all, theres signs all around around saying stay on trail and animal habitat restoration area keep out so people dont go deep in where the lakes at. when i was like 14 i was stupid and had plants in pots up on the lake about 100 feet in past a trail and watered them like every 2-3 days for about 3 months and established a noticeable trail easily followed and no one ever found them, but i got rid of them cuz i knew it was a bust when a suspicious guy questioned me when popping out of the forest thats why i wanna do this this time without having to visit often and worry about hikers passing by and seeing some long haired kid pop out of the forest like a few years ago. the lakes pretty big tho so i can find diffrent routes but still.

If its near a hiking trail, I wouldnt do it. As for leaving a trail...just go back a diff way each time. Dont go watering them every other day either. Remember you are growing a weed, they do pretty good on thier own...lol I have planted small clones and didnt go back till harvest time, and they were taller than me!! Use cocco coir, it holds a ton of water!

growing near a lake is a very bad idea. not only is there lots of animal life to mess with your plants, more importantly bugs, theyll ruin your day, and so will deer, but people also could play a factor, also soil is very deceiving by lakes 1 minute soil looks nice then it rains a few inches and it can become muddy and bad for roots, i wouldnt man and if u do, plant in big pots in the bushes. peace
