have gone off meat myself in the last years. the more i read about the meat industry the less meat i eat. ideally id like to keep my own animals and eat one of them once in a while. but meat from factory farming is so full of bad karma that it's no wonder people are getting sicker and sicker eating too much hormon and atibiotic filled cruelly treated animals.
totally agree about the coco. you are right, it should help suck up the ground water in the swampy area. can't wait to see how the plants like all your prep work.
I think your setting yourself up for some great success this season.
If your area does not fluctuate much with water levels you may want to try some wider bigger swamp tubes. You can even put multiple plants in larger tubes. One of the best swamp tube grows I have seen had four very large plants in something like 100 gallons,
it produced monster plants.
I don't have boars where I live but I do have bears. Both have very good sense of smell. As others have mentioned be careful of organic products that smell.
These creatures will destroy months of work in a few minutes if they decide they are interested in your tubes or plants.
