Corn Growing in MM dust
I was looking at my 6" deep SFG that I have corn and pole beans in. I noticed that in my cheapness to minimize spending too much on the mix ingredients, now that it is settled it is about 3" deep. It is on sod. I didn't remove the grass, just cut it short and plopped down the box. I am hoping this saves my cheap, lazy a** and the roots can get some traction from below.
Any other suggestions? I am thinking it is too late to add another bag of compost - the corn is about 6-8" high and the beans have their 1st and second sets of true leaves.
I am also thinking I should provide a stake for the corn now?

Re: Corn Growing in MM dust
Is blood meal preferable to coffee grounds?
More of my corn came up than I anticipated... I have three to four plants per square, and it's heirloom. I'm finding the idea of thinning them to be very difficult...

Re: Corn Growing in MM dust
I would add more mix, and I know Im new at this, but more dirt shouldnt hurt it. I do it with the beds I have. They settled as well, so every so often I take a bucket of soil and add it to where I think it can use it.
Hope this helps

That question is above my paygrade!Megan wrote:Is blood meal preferable to coffee grounds?
Maybe this picture will offer a little incentive to thin. There's not much room for more than one plant.Megan wrote:

Re: Corn Growing in MM dust
Hmm. You have quite a point, there! Mine are about the same size as Chopper's and I need to remember how big the end product will be.
