    Ive found a decent spot that will do fine but there are powerlines
    running through the spot. My dad said maintnance peeps spray shit to kill
    vegatation around the lines. Can anyone clarify this? The babys will be in containers
    anywhere from 30 feet of either side of the lines. Good idea?

    Your dad is right. Sometimes they mow instead of spray, either way...

    they generally only do mowing followed by spraying every 4 to 5 years so if they have been done in the last year or two shouldnt have any worries on that end.. that being said,its been my experience that power line corridors are a magnet for all kinds of people from hunters to kids looking for a place to party to granma an grampa out for a nice walk..

    i think the chances of someone stumbling upon your crop are much higher than the power company picking this year to do maintenance...

    No its secluded as shit. But I found a better spot today on top of a hill
    in the woods. I was wandering if the soil there was good enough could i just put that same soil into the bag. would i have to bring some in still? Im digging 3'x 3' holes 6 feet apart, and puting garbage bags in the whole then filling them with soil.

    If you want good results I would not just use the native soil unless it is perfect... It is probably mostly clay or mostly sand. = bad dirt

    What I would do is go to the store and buy a few bags of FoxFarm Ocean FOrest and then dig your 1.5' x 2' holes and fill them with perlite, compost, and fox farm. Give them a few weeks/ months, and then plant the young plants.

    Unless you are growing outdoors in your backyard, I would start the plants indoors. Grow them big enough so that they will escape predation from deer/ etc and them take them out to the location.
