Hello,
I've dug a few holes in the forest, it's a nice spot exposed to a lot of sun. Anyway, there are a lot of little stones below the surface, so it creates some kind of drainage, but the soil feels very moist. I will also add my own soil to these holes. Each hole will contain 20 litres of proper soil. I am thinking that for the vegetative phase, this will be enough and then when flowering roots will be strong enough to find their way in between that pebbles/soil mix.
This is something I will use http://www.melamin.si/en/products/end/default.html . It is called agro gel, it comes in small crystals which expand a 100 times when in tough with water. They keep water in, so the roots can suck water from them. It is 100% safe for growing. It is not cheap but it might save a plant or two during hot summer days. Also it is reusable and lasts around 3 to 4 years. Must have for those who have difficult access to water.
Please have a look at this pdf, it's in language you will not understand but, look at the photos and you will get the idea. http://www.kovinar-trgovina.si/katalogi/katalog_agrogel.pdf
What do you think?
