I’m sitting here so tired . Readied the tiller but I can’t load it because it’s too heavy . My last kid home enlisted in the Marines and this year I’m on my own - no help now . Tears flowing and I’m so tired but it’s my nature to grow my own food . Been doing it too long not to . But how can I get the corn in without a tiller . Feeling discouraged , sad , lost , and all the emotions came from realizing I’m alone now ….. scrolling I found you . Such a perfect timing . Thank you . The corn is going in now . Thank you for not only the corn video , but the words of encouragement to keep trying .
Last year 2021 a corn stalk started growing in my backyard out of nowhere. I live in the suburbs in Southern California. I was in awe and had so much fun watching it grow. It actually produced two ears of corn. Took lots of pics of its progress. Come this year 2022, I noticed, not one, but TWO stalks are growing! Can't wait to see what happens 😁
The idea of tilling the soil, leaving the soil uncovered, is an adaption to introduce the use of technology to start growing vegetables on a big scale. And a lot of the products used in gardening (like fertilisers, pesticides, amendments, etc, even the use of water... (not only paying for the water, but all of the watering systems...)), actually solve the problems that tilling and leaving the soil uncovered created in the first place (like the erosion of the soil, water evaporation, weeds, death of microorganisms like bacteria and fungus, poor relationship between the remaining microbes with the roots of the plant, plants less resistant to pests...). You can actually plant straight in the grass and grow food with no tools and no money, only seeds. Congratulations on your experiment! Big win for next seasons!
Montagnard indigenous we clear the forest and than we burn them wait for the rain come couple time we plant the corn we use stick too it’s part to our culture.
Heck yeah! This is exactly what I needed. I have the yard for this. This is second year of trying to solve a run off problem that runs all the way down my yard. I'm planting corn!! Hahaha this is great F yeah!
Thanks for sharing, you gave me a heck of an idea on how to one up this. Put down a row of pavers end to end and just take out the bricks where you want to plant. space each row with the lawnmower like you did. Less grass in between.
Oh I forgot to ad one thing. So if you get aphids which you probably will people had been telling me to spray them with neem oil. So I went to the store and tried to buy something organic. I looked the ingredients and it was 90 percent Canola oil lol. So I took my ass to the grocery store and bought a 3 dollar bottle of Canola oil and guess what? It works.... I wish I could post pictures of my progress so you could share as well. The corn looks beautiful!
I consider it a challenge when someone tells me I can't do it that way, or it's not possible to do it that way. So far, I've proved everyone wrong, at least as far as my garden is concerned.
The key is that you keep the grass low. Many things will grow well in low grass. Tall grass OTOH will stifle it. Next year I'm planning on planting corn with cover crops.
Yeah them weeds can swallow a car around here, I figured the row width as big as a push mower was gonna be really import. Plus it looks cool, lol. Hope your corn does awesome next year and thanks for tuning in.
Thanks for this video. I am growing a la Fukuoka. I like how you are experimenting with researched concepts and getting good results. I'm glad you posted this video no matter what the results will be.
I've had a garden for 5 years, up till last year. I always turned the soil. I have been reading up on this No-Till farming and was wondering if I could plant right in my yard full of grass. Thanks for clearing this up.
That corn is getting back in touch with its teosinte ancestors. Fucking awesome, great work man. From past videos, I think you'd be a great plant breeder.
Absolutely, it just wants to be free, lol. You are awesome and thank you, I would love to be a professional plant breeder and have that as a career. Someday, lol 😁 take care bro
Been now many years subbed to ya Bro, and yet there are still plenty of good videos here that I haven't seen, and this was one of them! Planting sticks, never heard of them until now, my maternal gramps who was a farmer used to plant beans alongside corn, so the vines would use the corn as trellises and later I learned about the 3 sisters method: Corn serving as trellises for the beans, who in return infuse nitrogen in the soil, much needed by the corn and the squash, with its big leaves would shade the ground, preventing the soil from drying out.Trying that here but come the rainy season (late May to late September), especially after a lone corn plant came up this year(deposited there by some bird or squirrel?)Didn't grow much, this year's rainy season was poor, only about 8 days worth of rain and it was very ravaged by insects.Thanks for sharing, 👍and greetings👋from central Mexico.🤠
I've done this. It works but requires a careful study of different plants and how nature functions that sadly most people don't have. Initially I used a lawnmower in between the rows until I started noticing the lower leaves were getting trimmed by the mower. Once the corn gets big enough to shade the plants underneath the lack of sunlight makes them weak enough to be outcompeted by the corn. All you have to do is come in with a hand sickle and trim the weeds or grass real short a few times to help the corn get a hold. You can also lay grass clippings around the corn to smother the weeds and help the corn get nutrients. But the fresh grass clippings can be sticky and mat together preventing water from getting down to the soil if it doesn't rain deeply enough. Straw would work better. Best thing is to switch the grass over to something else, eventually establishing a perennial groundcover to plant the corn into. Something like white clover maybe that you only mowed once or twice until the corn is established. Haven't tried the clover myself, but I let the ground ivy weed that grows everywhere where I live stay while I cut out all the other weeds. Which works super well because it likes the shade the corn provides and doesn't take too much water away from the corn. Rather I think it might conserve more moisture in the long run because it shades the soil and keeps it cooler. The ground ivy (glechoma hederacea) keeps the weeds from germinating and acts like a living mulch for the corn. I'm sure there are many possible combinations of plants that you can mix together making a human assembled biome that works. Things like plant heights, shade tolerance, root types and structure, allelopathy, growth patterns and rate, and whether something is cool or warm season are all things to consider. One important thing to note is that I did my corn in a fallow field, which had some grass in spots but wasn't a full lawn. Pure lawns are one thing you can certainly try out but different types of existing vegetation will certainly give different results. Like I mentioned, it requires experience and knowledge of different types of plants that people have to learn first what can and can't ACTUALLY be done. Perennial grasses with dense root systems and crowns may give more difficulty for the corn's roots trying to push into. Allelopathic plants may cause stunted growth or prevent germination so transplanting may be required instead of seeding directly in the field. The thing is not all ''weeds'' are bad and need to be removed. You just have to figure out which ones can you grow alongside your crop and which ones you can't. With trial and error. Some will play nice and get along and some are mean and should be left to grow elsewhere. If I had to start a new garden I wouldn't bother trying to grow somewhere I know would be harder to no till into. I'd look for places I know would already work well for no till techniques.
The problem with growing corn using no till is, it is hard to get decent sized corns out of them. I simply don't grow corn at all cause it is a superheavy feeder, much worse than tomatoes. You need to apply manure. Those farmers don't just till, they add a ton of nitrogen to the soil to grow the supermarket size corns. I can grow amaranth, sunchoke, or sunflower and get a much better yield than growing corn.
i agree with everything you said. even with all that though, i did get 10 inch ears on this harvest. that is decent and worth mixing in once in a while. who needs giant perfect grocery store style produce? we know fresh picked no spray apples are ugly and dont look anything like grocery apples but taste amazing compared to it though. same thing here. perfect for sweet corn, pop corn and flour corn
I constantly have to keep plating too. It was almost like it was camouflage in the grass, was already bigger than the grass before anything notices. I hope you try this in a small spot next year. Take care
Planting Freedom - athatcher85 and here I thought I was late planting in late June! 😂 I am also planting my corn the the grass, so this is encouraging. ❤️
I'm in Colorado and my front yard grass is... Crappy to put it mildly. I'm going to plant it with corn as soon as I finish this comment. Thank you for inspiring me! ( haha! My husband will be like...WTH!? When he comes home from work!) Hahahahahaha! (I love doing that to him!)
I was feeding the birds out by my patio in my dog area and guess what? I now have corn, a lot of corn. Never thought it would grow! The birds have pooped all over my yard and now I have corn EVERYWHERE. Wish I could keep it but it brings to many bugs that I can’t even open my door without bugs landing on me. It was nice watching it grow. I do have plans on growing corn now but in an area away from my back door.
"Hurdles to your success"...SO true. I'm new to gardening and (think) I am "failing" at growing LETTUCE! I refuse to believe I suck at gardening just because lettuce is supposed to grow without much effort. Everything I read or watch says how "easy" lettuce is to grow and, it probably is, but not until you've overcome the hurdles of discovering the right soil, light, location, watering frequency, fertilization and timing to grow lettuce successfully in YOUR particular area. Wow, am I ever discovering this. After many sleepless nights (yes, I've laid awake thinking about what I did wrong in planting my lettuce bed), I believe I planted too late in the season (April) and may have sowed the seed too densely.(I live in So Cal in the high desert area; it gets hot early here and the humidity is often in the single digits). The lettuce seeds sprouted beautifully but its not growing very fast AT ALL. Almost a month into it and they are no taller than an inch!! This is my FIRST hurdle and we shall see for the herbs, tomatoes, eggplants, onion, cucumber, squash, green beans, potatoes, bell and chili peppers I planted as well. I'm getting ready to plant corn this week. In the meantime, I'm trying to keep an open mind about the entire process. Wish me luck. Thanks for your video!
I pulled and replaced my corn because I couldn't tell if it was corn or grass....now I'll just let it all grow and weed it when its tall..thanks for video
Where I am, August would be too late to plant, even for a short cropping variety. The varieties I intend to try are known to do well with several frosts to go. Today, as in, before I go to bed, I will not plant them. Tomorrow (technically, tonight), I will. While I will hoe up where I intend to plant, and I will scythe around the site until I get emergence on the maize, I won't really bother with anything else.
I am shocked! This is why im convinced you should still try it even though common sense would make you think it would be useless. Not only in gardening but in everything 🎉
I’m awake at 2am...thinking how I can extend my garden next spring (southern hemisphere) and had the same idea!! We have a huge backyard, unused space...your video was spot on, I like your thinking! Love your idea to make space for the mower!
Exactly what I was looking for. I have a no till garden, but thinking it might be nice to have an additional large plot of corn this year just in case. I always check on TH-cam to see if someone else has tried an idea I'm thinking about and boom here it is. Thanks for sharing 👩🌾
Thank you This was the first year I planted corn in the garden and it blew over in the rain and wind. I noticed that corn planted along the road doesn’t blow over. I’m excited to try this.
I just found this video it just popped up in my newsfeed and I'm intrigued by this I have a plot of land that I can experiment with this on thanks for sharing
That's fantastic, TH-cam has memory holes my channel for a few years and I'm glad they are recommending it again. Yiu will have good success. Just take it down short before yiu plant and even do it before a good soaking rain so yiu wont have to water either. Good luck, Much love
I have two patches of corn maybe 40 plants, one has cover crops and sunflowers, that one has tassels and well on its way, the other one there are no cover crops all bare soil and you can see where the roots are, it's growing slower, so the growth of other plants or grass seems quite important. Thank you!!
And would you do it again... That is my question. Also, have you seen the Back to Eden Garden videos by Paul? Super cool! I think you'd appreciate them!
Thank you so much for this confirmation, it just felt so right. I've been complicating the shit out of how to prepare my garden bed. Life is one big experiment!
love your video! I grow my corn in a fenced area with bean and squash. I used hog panels with chicken wire on the bottom to keep critters put. The chicken wire is 2’ wide and I bent the chicken wire to and L and staked about 6” into the ground to keep things from digging under.
Well we see is possible, your plant density is appropriate for the nutrients competition and the grass helps to keep soil moisture and, thank you for your sharing
Absolutely, yeah rather than tilling the soil it keeps all the moisture tucked away. Thank you so much and hope your corn does awesome like this next year. Take care
I have no idea how corn is growing in my tiny yard. Stalks just appeared and until now I wasn’t sure what it was but it’s corn growing in a small pot. I just saw the silky stuff and then I saw a husk. It’s amazing
I actually had to plant my corn late this year due to setbacks to planting early in the season and rabbit predation. I'm hoping my corn matures by the end of September. I'm growing strawberry popcorn this year.
You sir you love to try other ways to survive and if you don't get what you was willing to you don't feel beaten and lost like others do... BRAVO to you !! I appreciate your videos always 💡🍎🍏🍊🍋🍄🍅🍆🍇🍈🍉🍐🍑🍒🍓🍍🌰🌽🌾🌻 ✔👍😊😉😕💚
Earlier this year we were raising some broilers under a big cage and they left some corn on the ground. After i removed the birds, that whole caged area grew corn! Lol its a little thick but still frowing nice and green! Thet did loosen the soil a bit with their feet, but nothing super deep. Ill see if it produces anything by the end of the season. 😆
That would be so cool if it produces some corn for you that you can feed back to them again, lol. I hope it does excellent for you. I actually only fed our chickens mixed bird seed from tractor supply. It has a mix or milo, sunflower,millet corn and a few others, they loved it and forager for bugs and free ranged the whole time. Got tons of amazing eggs consistently and the best part all the seed I through. In the yard for them would sometimes grow. So I would have a random sunflower, or millet with a big seed head on it. I always felt that was the holy grail of natural chicken raising, they forage and plant there own food. Take care
Planting Freedom - athatcher85 well, theyre in our freezer now 😆, but this is exactly what we fed them too, the wild bird feed plus lentils! Its cheap and it did the trick. Iv been doing this since april and still feed my laying chickens that mix. Theyre laying fine. I doubt ill ever go back to commercial chicken feed.
We have a bird feeder, and it has corn in it, it seems that the birds toss it out and it has started to grow, or maybe there is some other type of grass, that is growing like corn? It has leaves like corn and growing tall , not like crab grass, the leaves are broader. They are growing very nicely. So I am letting them grow to see what develops. Some has sprouted in bare dirt, and some in grass.
all on my garden in in grass no mud.I out produce everyone around me with their tilled gardens. I also don't use any fertilizer. I have 4 chicken pens that are 2 foot wide to go between the rows. when everything dies in the winter I keep 50 head of goats there. the first year I put 2by 6 around the bottom. this year I had to add another board because I have built 6 inches of soil in 3 years with no extra work. I put sun flowers on the south side I can't reach the tops and I am 6 foot the second crop of corn is the same
First year planting our corn like this.....excited to see how it works out....... The year before last we did the whole digging up the garden and pulling weeds......it grew as tall as it is now (about 5 inches) and the cut worms got them.......so far ( knock on wood) no cut worms🤞. And no pulling weeds 😀
Not sure about planting corn in the yard.....but in north Florida a lot of people plant August corn because there is plenty of hot months left for it to mature. The problem is bugs.......
I threw a whole ear in my compost and my dog dig it out a few weeks later and the whole thing had sprouted and so I buried it and it's the most corn I have... I had weird weather and only three of my 40 kernels sprouted so I'm grateful for the ear that came out if the compost bin.
I had very good results this year with just planting tomatoes in the orchard between my pear trees in sunny spots. Simply take a spade, dig up one blade full of soil, add about a pint glass of compost and plant the tomato plant. I mulch the space around the plant by chop and drop from time to time, but it could work without. The tomatoes have almost as much fruit as the ones in my vegetable beds and need less frequent watering. I tried this with summer squash as well but they don't look good, tiny plants and fruit, maybe not enough compost, or the competition is too fierce. Pole beans work this way too, might even grow them on a fence or into a fruit tree. I can't wait to see if your corn yields well in the lawn, corn seems to like a lot of nitrogen.
That's excellent, we grew a bunch of stuff under our fruit trees too this year, and your right the tomatoes absolutely love it. Cucumbers too, they just grow up the trees with cucumbers hanging the whole way. I have also had good luck with a wild vining summr squash I found in the woods here, and it grew up into the trees looking for sunlight too, and then would produce fruit in the tree. Thanks for stopping by
I have heard the same things about how you HAVE to grow corn. See I have chickens and they didn't eat all the scratch before I moved them and now I have corn growing like grass. It's about knee high now, sitting in the middle of my lawn and it sprouted about a month ago. Nature will find a way. Lol
Gonna try this with sunflowers. Dig the discussion re success and failure. Good work. Natives had it down till the modern world overcomplicated things. Next you may try Three Sisters method with this.
Burning down stuff is meant to increase the potassium level in your soil :) The grass simply consumes nutrients from your soil. Consider planting tons of beans, they actually enrich the soil :) (well, after they die - so, for the next year)
I just tried this but I used a crowbar to space it out and beat up the Grass Roots in Palm sized areas and put three to four seeds in. Let's see how it goes! I'm hope full but just really worried about the wind breaking the stalks. I live in ND.
U must have a lot of nitrogen in hour soil..but cool idea. Im doing the same thing next year with cherokee or seminole pumpkins..havent decided on which one
GREAT STUFF. thanks so much for sharing this video, we have been battling grass and weeds, but now we are going to try this with some sunflower seeds in our lawn, cant wait, its a game changer for sure :)
I'm driving down the road listening to your video I'm doing my deliveries today and I got to thinking I want to do that popcorn like you were talking about and I want to do that on the other side of the house I want to do a couple rows of that I want to do it mainly to produce food for my chickens and cut the cost down
Deffinetly give it a try man, I'm still in shock that's it worked better than inexpected. The corn i planted in the wood chips right now is just a little more than half as big as these. Seems the roots and undisturbed soil may be more beneficial than a sterile plantless growing area. Thanks for all your support, and would love to see some videos of you growing corn this way too. I' going all out with this next year.
I love this video so much!! I have done my whole garden with this philosophy…how would I do this IF there were no internet…trial & error! I decided to plant a plot of popcorn (only type of corn I really eat) in an area that is just weeds & grass..I will probably burn it. That will clear the area well in the late spring when I’m ready to plant. THANK YOU!!
@@athatcher85, I grew a nice plot of beautiful popcorn. I didn’t burn just poked holes into the grass and let it go. This year I’m doing 3 sisters with Japonica corn. I mowed then applied heavy slash mulch (grass and young weed clippings. Another year another experiment.
@@larawines4875 I have done it in Florida in sand and just punching the holes through the turf is enough to let the corn roots grow under the grass and not tip over with the sandy soil. I never watered this plot here in Tennessee. Just rain
I think you did a very good job with this video. It could have went much further. But it was still good. And it led me to think that many other types of vegetables can be grown in the same fashion. What are your thoughts?
I have corn growing in my front yard and I'm not sure how... A company ran a pipe though my yard and put down grass seed. No grass is growing but I have at least 8 beautiful corn plants. Thoughts?
That' awesome, they love it huh? I did that too with the popcorn I showed a picture of from 3 years ago. I called it the "4 sisters garden" because of the addition of sunflowers, and your right, they absolutely loved it and grew great. I hope you do try it and have awesome success. Let me know how it does, take care
I really want too grow a large area of corn but don’t have the energy to fight the rhizome grass that would take it over....if I get enough seed I’ll try this and make my rows wide enough to mow down them. Why not.
Could you help me out and tell me if you actually produced some ears of corn with this method? Because I could do this in my yard and it would be super nice if this works
Curious to see the result. I tried this in a 15x15 square in my yard last year with sweet corn with no result. I used a hammer to make my holes. I pretty sure the variety was peaches & cream
I will keep ya posted on how it does. I have bad luck with sweet corn too. I have tried a few varieties in the past, some heirloom, some hybrid and they just don' grow for me as good as popcorn or flour corn. Take care
I think now I'll plant some in my front yard and see what happens... my husband is gonna loose his mind when I tell him not to mow that part of the front yard!
I think our generation's task is to relearn by experimentation the knowledge the Indians possessed for millennia: don't fight Mother Nature, cooperate with her! I learned a similar lesson my first year on this homestead--60 tomato plants, and the hardware store wanted $2.99 each for tomato cages. Tried to stake them instead, but quickly learned that sumac makes lousy tomato stakes. Finally let them sprawl and clamber all over one another at will, and ended up with the biggest tomato crop of my life. Free-range corn and free-range tomatoes make for very happy plants living as Nature intended.
I totally agree, relearning what works. Also thanks for the comment you left a few weeks back which gave the kick in the ass too. It seems no matter how much you cage then tomatoes or the them up, there natural form is as a vine so they wanna spread. I wanted to let the tomatoes In the Woodchips run free but my wife kept giving me a hard time that with everything else spreading to we don't be able to get in there. So I caged them and they are out growing the cages now and spreading in the end, lol
Instead of buying expensive tomato cages cou can get a roll of fences, with one you can do plenty of them! Easy to get for free at the trashyard or whan neighboors get rid if their old fences. Sliced bamboo also is abundant around and is great to do tomato cages
The first corn gardeners were the tribes in modernday Mexico. They cleared a field so there were no other roots besides the three sisters. Corn fields are indigenous culture. It's called la milpa. Yes you can do this but your corn roots will have to fight for nutrients. They didn't just burn everything. They cleared and still do clear fields. Hey, if it works, it works.
Corn is technically grass so why wouldn't it grow. Besides we grow corn with beans and squash so I assume it would grow anywhere. I think the only reason we til is so it clean from insects. My two cents.
Great advice. Something about falling down or even that one great ride down the mountain is enough to want to overcome the obstacles, usually not of our own strength but actually in our weakness and seeking something outside of our own capabilities at times and relying on the creator not the creation 😊 Kipling says If you can dream-and not make dreams your master; If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; It's in the unplanned triumph and disasters that we look for truth and wisdom outside ourselves, ego set aside leaves room for the living, growing and learning. 1 Corinthians “How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?” You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly. 1 Corinthians 15:35-49 NASB1995
you may have two problems.if you keep mowing the grass will keep trying to regrow and will keep using the nutrients and leave you with a very poor crop if at all,and if you applyfertilizer which your corn already needs , wether chemical or organic the grass will take most of its value into itself. i hope you can prove me wrong but from 60 years of observation and experience i doubt it.
Well your wrong, this is part one. You must not have seen part 2 where I proved the arrogant jack offs wrong. I did everything people like you swear up and down you can not do, and I got a good crop. No fertilizer, no watering. So your 60 years of observation and experience isn’t as important or valuable as you think it is because you must have been wrong a lot in your life. Especially coming on my video with such a nasty and hateful comment. You don’t know as much as you think you do grandpa. Maybe you should pay attention, you might learn something 💡
Mainly earth tones dent with a little bit of nice colored Indian corn I mixed in. Earth tones dent is prettiest corn 🌽 in my opinion. Even nicer than glass gem corn

how'd it go?

This is my second year growing my sweet corn this way. Last year was the best corn I ever grew. So easy. thank you so much.
@@judyjahnz2363 thank you 🙏 super stoked your having good success also 👍
Montagnard indigenous we clear the forest and than we burn them wait for the rain come couple time we plant the corn we use stick too it’s part to our culture.
Heck yeah! This is exactly what I needed. I have the yard for this. This is second year of trying to solve a run off problem that runs all the way down my yard. I'm planting corn!! Hahaha this is great F yeah!
Thanks for sharing, you gave me a heck of an idea on how to one up this. Put down a row of pavers end to end and just take out the bricks where you want to plant. space each row with the lawnmower like you did. Less grass in between.

I wish I could post pictures of my progress so you could share as well. The corn looks beautiful!
The burning also helps by releasing nutrients to soil. Potassium for one
I consider it a challenge when someone tells me I can't do it that way, or it's not possible to do it that way. So far, I've proved everyone wrong, at least as far as my garden is concerned.
Word!!! I absolutely love this. Take care
The key is that you keep the grass low. Many things will grow well in low grass. Tall grass OTOH will stifle it. Next year I'm planning on planting corn with cover crops.
Yeah them weeds can swallow a car around here, I figured the row width as big as a push mower was gonna be really import. Plus it looks cool, lol. Hope your corn does awesome next year and thanks for tuning in.
Thanks for this video. I am growing a la Fukuoka. I like how you are experimenting with researched concepts and getting good results. I'm glad you posted this video no matter what the results will be.
I've had a garden for 5 years, up till last year. I always turned the soil. I have been reading up on this No-Till farming and was wondering if I could plant right in my yard full of grass. Thanks for clearing this up.
Absolutely, it worked amazing david. Everyone else who has tried this technique has had success too
Nice. It's not stupid if it works.
That corn is getting back in touch with its teosinte ancestors. Fucking awesome, great work man. From past videos, I think you'd be a great plant breeder.
Absolutely, it just wants to be free, lol. You are awesome and thank you, I would love to be a professional plant breeder and have that as a career. Someday, lol 😁 take care bro
Been now many years subbed to ya Bro, and yet there are still plenty of good videos here that I haven't seen, and this was one of them! Planting sticks, never heard of them until now, my maternal gramps who was a farmer used to plant beans alongside corn, so the vines would use the corn as trellises and later I learned about the 3 sisters method: Corn serving as trellises for the beans, who in return infuse nitrogen in the soil, much needed by the corn and the squash, with its big leaves would shade the ground, preventing the soil from drying out.Trying that here but come the rainy season (late May to late September), especially after a lone corn plant came up this year(deposited there by some bird or squirrel?)Didn't grow much, this year's rainy season was poor, only about 8 days worth of rain and it was very ravaged by insects.Thanks for sharing, 👍and greetings👋from central Mexico.🤠
I've done this. It works but requires a careful study of different plants and how nature functions that sadly most people don't have. Initially I used a lawnmower in between the rows until I started noticing the lower leaves were getting trimmed by the mower. Once the corn gets big enough to shade the plants underneath the lack of sunlight makes them weak enough to be outcompeted by the corn. All you have to do is come in with a hand sickle and trim the weeds or grass real short a few times to help the corn get a hold. You can also lay grass clippings around the corn to smother the weeds and help the corn get nutrients. But the fresh grass clippings can be sticky and mat together preventing water from getting down to the soil if it doesn't rain deeply enough. Straw would work better. Best thing is to switch the grass over to something else, eventually establishing a perennial groundcover to plant the corn into. Something like white clover maybe that you only mowed once or twice until the corn is established. Haven't tried the clover myself, but I let the ground ivy weed that grows everywhere where I live stay while I cut out all the other weeds. Which works super well because it likes the shade the corn provides and doesn't take too much water away from the corn. Rather I think it might conserve more moisture in the long run because it shades the soil and keeps it cooler. The ground ivy (glechoma hederacea) keeps the weeds from germinating and acts like a living mulch for the corn. I'm sure there are many possible combinations of plants that you can mix together making a human assembled biome that works. Things like plant heights, shade tolerance, root types and structure, allelopathy, growth patterns and rate, and whether something is cool or warm season are all things to consider.
One important thing to note is that I did my corn in a fallow field, which had some grass in spots but wasn't a full lawn. Pure lawns are one thing you can certainly try out but different types of existing vegetation will certainly give different results. Like I mentioned, it requires experience and knowledge of different types of plants that people have to learn first what can and can't ACTUALLY be done. Perennial grasses with dense root systems and crowns may give more difficulty for the corn's roots trying to push into. Allelopathic plants may cause stunted growth or prevent germination so transplanting may be required instead of seeding directly in the field. The thing is not all ''weeds'' are bad and need to be removed. You just have to figure out which ones can you grow alongside your crop and which ones you can't. With trial and error. Some will play nice and get along and some are mean and should be left to grow elsewhere. If I had to start a new garden I wouldn't bother trying to grow somewhere I know would be harder to no till into. I'd look for places I know would already work well for no till techniques.
The problem with growing corn using no till is, it is hard to get decent sized corns out of them. I simply don't grow corn at all cause it is a superheavy feeder, much worse than tomatoes. You need to apply manure. Those farmers don't just till, they add a ton of nitrogen to the soil to grow the supermarket size corns. I can grow amaranth, sunchoke, or sunflower and get a much better yield than growing corn.
i agree with everything you said. even with all that though, i did get 10 inch ears on this harvest. that is decent and worth mixing in once in a while. who needs giant perfect grocery store style produce? we know fresh picked no spray apples are ugly and dont look anything like grocery apples but taste amazing compared to it though. same thing here. perfect for sweet corn, pop corn and flour corn
I planted a second batch in August too! Raccoons got the 1st batch. I’m encouraged by what you did.
I constantly have to keep plating too. It was almost like it was camouflage in the grass, was already bigger than the grass before anything notices. I hope you try this in a small spot next year. Take care
Planting Freedom - athatcher85 and here I thought I was late planting in late June! 😂 I am also planting my corn the the grass, so this is encouraging. ❤️
I'm in Colorado and my front yard grass is... Crappy to put it mildly. I'm going to plant it with corn as soon as I finish this comment. Thank you for inspiring me! ( haha! My husband will be like...WTH!? When he comes home from work!) Hahahahahaha! (I love doing that to him!)
"It's a very tall, very tasty grass. Don't hit it with the scythe, please."
Thank you! Also, you gave much more than just corn growing advice. Thank you again!
Thank you
I was feeding the birds out by my patio in my dog area and guess what? I now have corn, a lot of corn. Never thought it would grow! The birds have pooped all over my yard and now I have corn EVERYWHERE. Wish I could keep it but it brings to many bugs that I can’t even open my door without bugs landing on me. It was nice watching it grow. I do have plans on growing corn now but in an area away from my back door.
"Hurdles to your success"...SO true. I'm new to gardening and (think) I am "failing" at growing LETTUCE! I refuse to believe I suck at gardening just because lettuce is supposed to grow without much effort.
Everything I read or watch says how "easy" lettuce is to grow and, it probably is, but not until you've overcome the hurdles of discovering the right soil, light, location, watering frequency, fertilization and timing to grow lettuce successfully in YOUR particular area.
Wow, am I ever discovering this. After many sleepless nights (yes, I've laid awake thinking about what I did wrong in planting my lettuce bed), I believe I planted too late in the season (April) and may have sowed the seed too densely.(I live in So Cal in the high desert area; it gets hot early here and the humidity is often in the single digits). The lettuce seeds sprouted beautifully but its not growing very fast AT ALL. Almost a month into it and they are no taller than an inch!!
This is my FIRST hurdle and we shall see for the herbs, tomatoes, eggplants, onion, cucumber, squash, green beans, potatoes, bell and chili peppers I planted as well. I'm getting ready to plant corn this week.
In the meantime, I'm trying to keep an open mind about the entire process.
Wish me luck. Thanks for your video!
I pulled and replaced my corn because I couldn't tell if it was corn or grass....now I'll just let it all grow and weed it when its tall..thanks for video
I think this a great idea! I going to try it on my lot.
Where I am, August would be too late to plant, even for a short cropping variety. The varieties I intend to try are known to do well with several frosts to go. Today, as in, before I go to bed, I will not plant them. Tomorrow (technically, tonight), I will. While I will hoe up where I intend to plant, and I will scythe around the site until I get emergence on the maize, I won't really bother with anything else.
I am shocked!
This is why im convinced you should still try it even though common sense would make you think it would be useless.
Not only in gardening but in everything 🎉
Absolutely 💯
I'm growing mine on the side of my house. Basically did it like this, didn't know it wasn't normal.
That' awesome, how is it doing so far?
@@athatcher85 Better than expect
I’m awake at 2am...thinking how I can extend my garden next spring (southern hemisphere) and had the same idea!! We have a huge backyard, unused space...your video was spot on, I like your thinking! Love your idea to make space for the mower!
House inspection tomorrow then I’ve got 3 months to grow corn……but it might still be too cold? 🤷🏻♀️
I love your planting staff.
Exactly what I was looking for. I have a no till garden, but thinking it might be nice to have an additional large plot of corn this year just in case. I always check on TH-cam to see if someone else has tried an idea I'm thinking about and boom here it is. Thanks for sharing 👩🌾
Thank you
This was the first year I planted corn in the garden and it blew over in the rain and wind. I noticed that corn planted along the road doesn’t blow over.
I’m excited to try this.
I just found this video it just popped up in my newsfeed and I'm intrigued by this I have a plot of land that I can experiment with this on thanks for sharing
That's fantastic, TH-cam has memory holes my channel for a few years and I'm glad they are recommending it again. Yiu will have good success. Just take it down short before yiu plant and even do it before a good soaking rain so yiu wont have to water either. Good luck, Much love
Looks good!
My thing here is with torpedo grass... it goes deeper than 10inches in places, and doesn’t seem to be slowing down
I have two patches of corn maybe 40 plants, one has cover crops and sunflowers, that one has tassels and well on its way, the other one there are no cover crops all bare soil and you can see where the roots are, it's growing slower, so the growth of other plants or grass seems quite important. Thank you!!
And would you do it again... That is my question. Also, have you seen the Back to Eden Garden videos by Paul? Super cool! I think you'd appreciate them!
Thank you so much for this confirmation, it just felt so right. I've been complicating the shit out of how to prepare my garden bed. Life is one big experiment!
love your video! I grow my corn in a fenced area with bean and squash. I used hog panels with chicken wire on the bottom to keep critters put. The chicken wire is 2’ wide and I bent the chicken wire to and L and staked about 6” into the ground to keep things from digging under.
Well we see is possible, your plant density is appropriate for the nutrients competition and the grass helps to keep soil moisture and, thank you for your sharing
I will totally do this! It might also keap the humidity in the soil meaning less watering, thanks man, your an inspiracion!
Absolutely, yeah rather than tilling the soil it keeps all the moisture tucked away. Thank you so much and hope your corn does awesome like this next year. Take care
I have no idea how corn is growing in my tiny yard. Stalks just appeared and until now I wasn’t sure what it was but it’s corn growing in a small pot. I just saw the silky stuff and then I saw a husk. It’s amazing
I actually had to plant my corn late this year due to setbacks to planting early in the season and rabbit predation. I'm hoping my corn matures by the end of September. I'm growing strawberry popcorn this year.
How did it go?
You sir you love to try other ways to survive and if you don't get what you was willing to you don't feel beaten and lost like others do... BRAVO to you !! I appreciate your videos always 💡🍎🍏🍊🍋🍄🍅🍆🍇🍈🍉🍐🍑🍒🍓🍍🌰🌽🌾🌻 ✔👍😊😉😕💚
Thank you a ton for this 😁 I really appreciate your support. Take care
Earlier this year we were raising some broilers under a big cage and they left some corn on the ground. After i removed the birds, that whole caged area grew corn! Lol its a little thick but still frowing nice and green! Thet did loosen the soil a bit with their feet, but nothing super deep. Ill see if it produces anything by the end of the season. 😆
That would be so cool if it produces some corn for you that you can feed back to them again, lol. I hope it does excellent for you. I actually only fed our chickens mixed bird seed from tractor supply. It has a mix or milo, sunflower,millet corn and a few others, they loved it and forager for bugs and free ranged the whole time. Got tons of amazing eggs consistently and the best part all the seed I through. In the yard for them would sometimes grow. So I would have a random sunflower, or millet with a big seed head on it. I always felt that was the holy grail of natural chicken raising, they forage and plant there own food. Take care
Planting Freedom - athatcher85 well, theyre in our freezer now 😆, but this is exactly what we fed them too, the wild bird feed plus lentils! Its cheap and it did the trick. Iv been doing this since april and still feed my laying chickens that mix. Theyre laying fine. I doubt ill ever go back to commercial chicken feed.
Forget the stick - pull a weed and place the seed in the hole left behind. Have been doing it with buckwheat; it works great!
Nice ti see others doing the same!
I do both
Wooooo cute dude that grows plants, instant thumbs up! 🤣👍🏼
dude thats awesome man....all that tilling and weed killing is crazy hard....i will try something samethins year
I mean, didn't Johnny Appleseed go all over the New World with a sack of apple seeds and a walking stick?
That's more a legend, but he did grow crap tons of apple trees.
I really appreciate your channel and perspective..you think differently, and it's always interesting. Will definitely try this
We have a bird feeder, and it has corn in it, it seems that the birds toss it out and it has started to grow, or maybe there is some other type of grass, that is growing like corn? It has leaves like corn and growing tall , not like crab grass, the leaves are broader. They are growing very nicely. So I am letting them grow to see what develops. Some has sprouted in bare dirt, and some in grass.
all on my garden in in grass no mud.I out produce everyone around me with their tilled gardens. I also don't use any fertilizer. I have 4 chicken pens that are 2 foot wide to go between the rows. when everything dies in the winter I keep 50 head of goats there. the first year I put 2by 6 around the bottom. this year I had to add another board because I have built 6 inches of soil in 3 years with no extra work. I put sun flowers on the south side I can't reach the tops and I am 6 foot the second crop of corn is the same
That's excellent, sounds like that' the way to do it
First year planting our corn like this.....excited to see how it works out....... The year before last we did the whole digging up the garden and pulling weeds......it grew as tall as it is now (about 5 inches) and the cut worms got them.......so far ( knock on wood) no cut worms🤞. And no pulling weeds 😀
Did you get a crop?
Not sure about planting corn in the yard.....but in north Florida a lot of people plant August corn because there is plenty of hot months left for it to mature. The problem is bugs.......
I threw a whole ear in my compost and my dog dig it out a few weeks later and the whole thing had sprouted and so I buried it and it's the most corn I have... I had weird weather and only three of my 40 kernels sprouted so I'm grateful for the ear that came out if the compost bin.
I had very good results this year with just planting tomatoes in the orchard between my pear trees in sunny spots. Simply take a spade, dig up one blade full of soil, add about a pint glass of compost and plant the tomato plant. I mulch the space around the plant by chop and drop from time to time, but it could work without. The tomatoes have almost as much fruit as the ones in my vegetable beds and need less frequent watering. I tried this with summer squash as well but they don't look good, tiny plants and fruit, maybe not enough compost, or the competition is too fierce. Pole beans work this way too, might even grow them on a fence or into a fruit tree. I can't wait to see if your corn yields well in the lawn, corn seems to like a lot of nitrogen.
That's excellent, we grew a bunch of stuff under our fruit trees too this year, and your right the tomatoes absolutely love it. Cucumbers too, they just grow up the trees with cucumbers hanging the whole way. I have also had good luck with a wild vining summr squash I found in the woods here, and it grew up into the trees looking for sunlight too, and then would produce fruit in the tree. Thanks for stopping by
What kind of grass do you have? Is it Bermuda? That stuff is a beast. How did this turn out for you? Did your corn get all the way to harvest?
I have heard the same things about how you HAVE to grow corn. See I have chickens and they didn't eat all the scratch before I moved them and now I have corn growing like grass. It's about knee high now, sitting in the middle of my lawn and it sprouted about a month ago. Nature will find a way. Lol
Maiz is grass lol same family
Gonna try this with sunflowers. Dig the discussion re success and failure. Good work. Natives had it down till the modern world overcomplicated things. Next you may try Three Sisters method with this.
I was just wondering if I could drill in seed over a cover of grass.
I will have to try this. 💖
Maybe throw 2 or 3 in the hole next year to avoid the gaps...then go back and remove extras that come up.
That sounds like an excellent idea, avoid some gaps just throwing in a couple seeds. Tha is for stopping by
Burning down stuff is meant to increase the potassium level in your soil :) The grass simply consumes nutrients from your soil. Consider planting tons of beans, they actually enrich the soil :) (well, after they die - so, for the next year)
I just tried this but I used a crowbar to space it out and beat up the Grass Roots in Palm sized areas and put three to four seeds in. Let's see how it goes! I'm hope full but just really worried about the wind breaking the stalks. I live in ND.
U must have a lot of nitrogen in hour soil..but cool idea. Im doing the same thing next year with cherokee or seminole pumpkins..havent decided on which one
GREAT STUFF. thanks so much for sharing this video, we have been battling grass and weeds, but now we are going to try this with some sunflower seeds in our lawn, cant wait, its a game changer for sure :)
Do you come back and use the lawnmower between rows? Do you have to remove weeds before harvest?
Way to go. I'm gonna try some sweet corn 🌽
Update on how the corn came out? I watched this video and was inspired myself to try it. Planted all my corn yesterday
I just did some of this too.
I'm driving down the road listening to your video I'm doing my deliveries today and I got to thinking I want to do that popcorn like you were talking about and I want to do that on the other side of the house I want to do a couple rows of that I want to do it mainly to produce food for my chickens and cut the cost down
Deffinetly give it a try man, I'm still in shock that's it worked better than inexpected. The corn i planted in the wood chips right now is just a little more than half as big as these. Seems the roots and undisturbed soil may be more beneficial than a sterile plantless growing area. Thanks for all your support, and would love to see some videos of you growing corn this way too. I' going all out with this next year.
I love this video so much!! I have done my whole garden with this philosophy…how would I do this IF there were no internet…trial & error! I decided to plant a plot of popcorn (only type of corn I really eat) in an area that is just weeds & grass..I will probably burn it. That will clear the area well in the late spring when I’m ready to plant. THANK YOU!!
That fantastic!!! Yiur gonna have some nice popcorn. It's a lot more tough and hardy than sweet corn. Keep me posted!!!
Did you get corn?
Have you done it again?
@@athatcher85, I grew a nice plot of beautiful popcorn. I didn’t burn just poked holes into the grass and let it go. This year I’m doing 3 sisters with Japonica corn. I mowed then applied heavy slash mulch (grass and young weed clippings. Another year another experiment.
@@larawines4875yes, it went well. See my reply above!
@@larawines4875 I have done it in Florida in sand and just punching the holes through the turf is enough to let the corn roots grow under the grass and not tip over with the sandy soil. I never watered this plot here in Tennessee. Just rain
Nice I will try that it’s simple and easy .
definitely going to try doing this
Hi do you think bush beans would grow this way ?
I think you did a very good job with this video. It could have went much further. But it was still good. And it led me to think that many other types of vegetables can be grown in the same fashion. What are your thoughts?
I have corn growing in my front yard and I'm not sure how... A company ran a pipe though my yard and put down grass seed. No grass is growing but I have at least 8 beautiful corn plants. Thoughts?
Love your videos. Keep them coming your inspiring :)
Thank you brother, will do 😀
I grow my corn right beside my sunflowers this year. Grow great was surprised. Happy to see your corn growing like this . I will try this next year
That' awesome, they love it huh? I did that too with the popcorn I showed a picture of from 3 years ago. I called it the "4 sisters garden" because of the addition of sunflowers, and your right, they absolutely loved it and grew great. I hope you do try it and have awesome success. Let me know how it does, take care
Amazing video, I guess no need to buy tiller
Dam....I’ve been so freaking stupid.....thanks man...now my head hurts from slapping my forehead.
I really want too grow a large area of corn but don’t have the energy to fight the rhizome grass that would take it over....if I get enough seed I’ll try this and make my rows wide enough to mow down them. Why not.
Could you help me out and tell me if you actually produced some ears of corn with this method? Because I could do this in my yard and it would be super nice if this works
This is a wonderful video. Your real. Thankyou
well you know the saying He works in mysterious ways Amen!!
Curious to see the result. I tried this in a 15x15 square in my yard last year with sweet corn with no result. I used a hammer to make my holes. I pretty sure the variety was peaches & cream
I will keep ya posted on how it does. I have bad luck with sweet corn too. I have tried a few varieties in the past, some heirloom, some hybrid and they just don' grow for me as good as popcorn or flour corn. Take care
Not sure but would think a hammer would compact the soil and not be friendly to the germinating of the corn.
Did you happen to get video of the harvest later in the year?
My best sunflower/corn/random big grass stalks patches are wherever my chickens are pooping. Whatever seeds I feed them become big healthy plants lol.
Yeah I did another video soon after this that had the harvest, they grew amazing and has nice ears to harvest
I think now I'll plant some in my front yard and see what happens... my husband is gonna loose his mind when I tell him not to mow that part of the front yard!
Could use a torch and do a quick control burn
I think our generation's task is to relearn by experimentation the knowledge the Indians possessed for millennia: don't fight Mother Nature, cooperate with her! I learned a similar lesson my first year on this homestead--60 tomato plants, and the hardware store wanted $2.99 each for tomato cages. Tried to stake them instead, but quickly learned that sumac makes lousy tomato stakes. Finally let them sprawl and clamber all over one another at will, and ended up with the biggest tomato crop of my life. Free-range corn and free-range tomatoes make for very happy plants living as Nature intended.
I totally agree, relearning what works. Also thanks for the comment you left a few weeks back which gave the kick in the ass too. It seems no matter how much you cage then tomatoes or the them up, there natural form is as a vine so they wanna spread. I wanted to let the tomatoes In the Woodchips run free but my wife kept giving me a hard time that with everything else spreading to we don't be able to get in there. So I caged them and they are out growing the cages now and spreading in the end, lol
What? What tomatoes cages? They did fine with free sticks from the forest! Free is good!
Instead of buying expensive tomato cages cou can get a roll of fences, with one you can do plenty of them! Easy to get for free at the trashyard or whan neighboors get rid if their old fences. Sliced bamboo also is abundant around and is great to do tomato cages
@@AutoNomades I use sticks from hazlenut trees. They last about 3 years
The first corn gardeners were the tribes in modernday Mexico. They cleared a field so there were no other roots besides the three sisters. Corn fields are indigenous culture. It's called la milpa. Yes you can do this but your corn roots will have to fight for nutrients. They didn't just burn everything. They cleared and still do clear fields. Hey, if it works, it works.
So did any corn cobs ever grow?
How hard is it to grow loquat or guarva tree in the garden. I'm going to grow some corn as an experiment.
Corn is technically grass so why wouldn't it grow. Besides we grow corn with beans and squash so I assume it would grow anywhere. I think the only reason we til is so it clean from insects. My two cents.
Yeah I'm thinking of trying some squash and sunflowers like this too, see how it does. Thanks for stopping by
The hopi plant corn like that. If you loosen the soil, the plants dont like it
Great advice. Something about falling down or even that one great ride down the mountain is enough to want to overcome the obstacles, usually not of our own strength but actually in our weakness and seeking something outside of our own capabilities at times and relying on the creator not the creation 😊 Kipling says If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
It's in the unplanned triumph and disasters that we look for truth and wisdom outside ourselves, ego set aside leaves room for the living, growing and learning.
1 Corinthians “How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?” You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
1 Corinthians 15:35-49 NASB1995
I'm doing this now. I have a big patch
Your about to make me a lazy ass farmer 😂
you may have two problems.if you keep mowing the grass will keep trying to regrow and will keep using the nutrients and leave you with a very poor crop if at all,and if you applyfertilizer which your corn already needs , wether chemical or organic the grass will take most of its value into itself. i hope you can prove me wrong but from 60 years of observation and experience i doubt it.
Well your wrong, this is part one. You must not have seen part 2 where I proved the arrogant jack offs wrong. I did everything people like you swear up and down you can not do, and I got a good crop. No fertilizer, no watering. So your 60 years of observation and experience isn’t as important or valuable as you think it is because you must have been wrong a lot in your life. Especially coming on my video with such a nasty and hateful comment. You don’t know as much as you think you do grandpa. Maybe you should pay attention, you might learn something 💡

Ummmm.... corn is a member of the grass family...
End of August, that's around when first frost comes. Soooo, there's a bigger world out there
What type of corn is that?
Mainly earth tones dent with a little bit of nice colored Indian corn I mixed in. Earth tones dent is prettiest corn 🌽 in my opinion. Even nicer than glass gem corn
Corn is technically grass, It is part of the family, that's why it looks like over sized grass leafs and wheat.
