    I do as my grandfather did with his corn. When the silk comes on put a few drops of vegetable oil on the silk. This suffocates anything that tries to live and eat your corn.

      Do you apply the oil right away, or give a few days for germination?

      @@Skashoon I think it's after the corn is developed and has actual ears on it then the tips of the ears will have the silks and when those start showing I think is when you're supposed to apply the oil.. hope that helps! GOD bless!

    Say several years ago I had a idea and it works wonderful! I put 3 large bug zappers up close to corn and tomatoes and I have had near zero worms and zero tomato worms! I did have to cut larger openings into the zapper cage so large moths could get in. It has been a gamechanger for me. I do still use BT too

    Thank you for the tips I planted sweet corn last year and I followed the directions on the seed package and it still didn't do very good but I made my own organic fertilizer using cat tails from my pond and weeds that were laying around out side I think that may have a little something to do with it but I'm not sure. I had a garden the year before last and I made liquid fertilizer from a piece of dry cow manure that I let soak in water for a about 2 weeks the first garden I had that's what I used and it did good. So this year I'm going to do the same thing with cow/horse manure. I ended up moving my garden last year and the weeds just took over the whole thing but that's because it was out of sight and out of mind the garden I had before that was out by the clothes line so I was able to see it out my kitchen window which was helpful.

    Got a few rows of heirloom golden bantam. Should have seed emergence in a couple days. Soil is pre fertilized. Once they reach one foot I’ll fertilize again with a more nitrogen rich liquid fertilizer.

    For the beetle bags it is best not to put them directly by the plants you are trying to protect. Instead put them out 50 feet to 100 from the area. Spread out a couple of bags to create a protective boundary. Still will get a few on the corn but less than when attracting them right to the area. Great video !

    I had several plantings of (in-ground) corn last year.. my corn was BEAUTIFUL… until a wind came up and blew most of the tall section over.. I did end up harvesting a good many ears, but they’d been chewed up pretty bad. I will put oil on the silks this year.. I had not heard of that before. I dusted silks with DE last year, and sprayed BT, but it would wash off in the rain or when I watered.

    If you test it, and it’s not ready, is that ear ruined, or can you keep it on the stock to continue ripening?
