Growing in sand???

[chiefer]

My outdoor grow space I have scoped out is little unusual. It is off the travled road in the middle of logging land on the back side of a 5000 acre hunting lease. Off of the trail I have to traverse about 200 yard of closely planted pine trees which opens onto a rather larger expance of sand. I will post pics asap. My questions have to do with how to grow my plants best in this area.

I have a plan in my head, but I want some opinions on it before I crash head long into this site.

1. Obtain buckets or pots which I will later bury in the sand.

2. Obtain soil, nutes, ferts and prepare offsite.

3. Drill hole in buckets or pots and line them with that black cloth that you see around nurseries . This is to allow water to drain from the bucket without losing my soil otherwise when it rained the buckets would overflow and that would be that.

4. Fill lined buckets with soil, dig hole, place bucket in hole, put plant in bucket, wait, reap benifits.

Am I totaly off my rocker or will this work. Seems rational enough.

Input plaease...

sounds good to me.a friend and i did this for a long time yrs ago.we slowly got all our supplies stashed in the woods and then just randomly went back to check and feed and water when necessary.worked for us,for awhile.we always took fishing poles with us,as it was near a river.good thing too.we were going to check on them and the boys in suits saw us.said we were going fishing.to make it short,they took our crop and was mad as hell at us.

It is near a pond. The logging land I am on gets logged once about every ten years. Judging from the size of the new trees it was logged about three years ago. I have been checking for traffic in the area by means of a couple of game cameras and good old fashioned foot work looking for vehicle of foot tracks and so far nothing. I have check at least once a week for the past year and nothing other than my foot prints or 4 wheeler tracks have been there and no one in the pictures either.
