    Hey, Thats Cheating...You've got TWO of ya working in the Garden. LOL..
    I was going to suggest covering up the trench you fertilized with some compost, but you done covered it up. LOL
    Looking forward to seeing how your corn does this year and the updates you share with us. "It's ALWAYS best to under fertilize, than over fertilize" is what my Grandmother used to always tell us. I can remember seeing some of the best and greenish corn at her house.

I use to love hearing their stories about past times and so much knowledge they had that was so priceless. Folks now days are going to be hurting if it gets back to those times again.

    I got a 10x10 plot i planted this year. Its been a rough year with health issues. So i struggled to get that corn in the ground. Even went as far as taking a stick and a water hose and counterattacked the army worms because the budeget didnt allow for bt. Well when that storm came through here and laid the back section of my plot over and it didnt stand back up on its on I trellised them. I did a make shift florida weave and stood them suckers back up. And they are doing really good. Lol.

    • @BIGALTX
      @BIGALTX  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s what I do. Put in some t posts and some string between the rows to hold the corn up.
      I haven’t done it yet…
      But I need to get on it pretty doggone quick.

    I use calcium nitrate in my tomato and pepper hydroponics water. Have to keep it in the house durn stuff melts in The Texas heat. I use it on my corn but I mix it with water and water it in. I do mine about 4 times. Kinda like Hoss said on video fertilize corn until the tips of leaves burn.
    Every year I grew hydropnics but not this year just didnt feel like messing with it but it grows veggies way bigger n better than dirt.

    • @BIGALTX

      I’ve never tried hydroponics, but I have researched it quite a bit. Seems like a lot of trouble, but pretty cool.

    Dear friend, I believe that you are using a very expensive fertilizer to feed the corn. Can you please show you raising corn using 10-10-10 granular fertilizer at pre plant followed by sidedressing urea? Thank you

    Do you guys see advantages to planting your corn in these crates compared to direct seeding or transplanting?

    • @BIGALTX
      @BIGALTX  ปีที่แล้ว

      Not a lot of advantages.
      But, for me... the one advantage is that my young corn won't wash away in a hard rain.
      (my gardens are on a slope)
      I had that happen over and over with my corn when it was a few inches tall.
      In these raised beds, that has never happened.

      They are only about 6" deep, but I have the bottoms cut out of them.
      I got them from a business that was throwing them away 15 or so years ago
      They are industrial, very heavy duty totes...about 15 LBS empty
