CHAPTER 6: WHERE DOES MARIJUANA COME FROM? GUERRILLA GARDENS When you're ready to plant, moisten the clones and pack them carefully into a backpack along with a small shovel, enough soil to transplant each clone, and a large bottle of water.

Visit your patch early in the morning, and have a cover story ready in case you need one, like a dog on a leash, or a copy of Thoreau's Walden. Work quickly, without rushing, and try not to leave a trail when walking to or from your patch. Maintenance depends on the climate. If you receive adequate rain, you may not need to visit your guerrilla garden again until harvest, though you may be disappointed by what you find if heavy storms, grazing deer, insects or infectious mold have taken their toll.
