Maybe fun for you, but as a kid I followed granddad dropping seed as he followed a mule with a middlebuster. Then I got to hoe it until we hand pulled ears, then shucked and cut kernels off the cob for canning. I guarantee there wasn't a dam bit of it any fun. :lol:
Usually I just use a Craftsman rotary tiller and a hoe because I don't plant all that much, but I have used Atrazine herbicide post plant, pre-emerge and it works very well and is not expensive at all. If I was planting a lot of corn, I'd use Atrazine.SJB":25z7xzy5 said:i wound up planting 400 seeds. bodacious and honey select.

Maybe not Slick but I bet it was fun eating it! And just look at what you learned from it :nod:
Nope, and never will as long as they have calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate available for purchase in town. Probably not after it's not available either.SJB":18vx1v55 said:Anybody ever use corn gluten meal to fertilize with?
