Contrary to propular belief, grass grows well in many place on the
North American continent. It will flourish even if the temperature does not
raise above 75 degrees. The plants do need a minimum of eight hours of sunlight
per day and should be planted in late April/early May, BUT DEFINITELY, after the
last frost of the year. Growing an outdoor, or "au naturel", crop has been the
favored method over the years, because grass seems to grow better without as
much attention when in its natural habitat. Of course, an outdoors setting
requires special precautions not encoun- tered with an indoors crop; you must be
able to avoid detection, both from law enforcement freaks and common freaks,
both of whom will take your weed and probably use it. Of course, one will also
arrest you. You must also have access to the area to prepare the soil and
harvest the crop. There are two schools of thought about starting the seeds. One
says you should start the seedlings for about ten days in an indoor starter box
(see the indoor section) and then transplant. The other theory is that you
should just start them in the correct location. Fewer plants will come up with
this method, but there is no shock of transplant to kill some of the seedlings
halfway through. The soil should be preprepared for the little devils by turning
it over a couple of times and adding about one cup of hydrated lime per square
yard of soil and a little bit (not too much, now) of good water soluble nitrogen
fertilizer. The soil should now be watered several times and left to sit about
one week. The plants should be planted at least three feet apart, getting too
greedy and stacking them too close will result in stunted plants. The plants
like some water during their growing season, BUT not too much. This is
especially true around the roots, as too much water will rot the root system.
Grass grows well in corn or hops, and these plants will help provide some
camouflage. It does not grow well with rye, spinach, or pepperweed. It is
probally a good idea to plant in many small, broken patches, as people tend to
notice patterns.
